Akram Khan re-writes ‘Radha’: The ‘hypervisible’ cultural identity in Kylie Minogue’s ‘Showgirl’
No full textThis is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory, 19(1), 23 - 34, 2009 [copyright Taylor & Francis], available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/07407700802655265.This paper attempts to analyze the British Asian dancer/choreographer Akram Khan's choreography of Samsara for Kylie Minogue's “homecoming” version of the 2006 Showgirl tour as an intellectual commentary on the 1906 American modern dance piece Radha by Ruth St Denis. On the surface Khan's choreography can be seen to reiterate some of the same Orientalist tropes that St Denis was accused of, within a popular “low”-culture context. Acknowledging this trope I scrutinize Khan's key choreographic strategies that challenge the potentially feminist reading of St Denis’ Radha by successfully reinstating the marriage plot within his choreography. More significantly, he makes “hypervisible,” the source culture of Kathak and the body of authority (himself) in the cultural exchange that shapes this choreographic project. Through an analysis of Khan's choreographic endeavor and a reevaluation of the power play between male and female bodies in the space, I wish to extrapolate Khan's intellectual vision within Samsara as an expression and assertion of the place of diasporic identity and cultural exchange within Western popular culture. I frame my paper within the preexistent frameworks from scholars like Sally Banes, Priya Srinivasan, Edward Said, Kobena Mercer, Rustom Bharucha and Philip Auslander
Teatro em Crise/Crise no Teatro
No full textRustom Bharucha é um estudioso do mundo, e sua maneira de estudá-lo é através do teatro.

The trouble with The Trouble With Community
No full textIn his Politics of Cultural Practice: Thinking Through Theatre in an Age of Globalization, the Calcutta-based critic and dramaturg Rustom Bharucha makes minced meat of the global culture industry, including the academic post-colonialism machinery and the seemingly 'untouchable' super star scholars that lubricate and legitimate it (Bharucha 2001). Inspired by his challenging thoughts and by Graham Huggan (2001), I take the liberty to lock horns with Vered Amit and Nigel Rapport on the concept of 'community' in a provisional attempt to carve out some sorely needed theoretical space for what we in Holland for lack of a better term still continue to call community- or neighborhood theatre
Resenha crítica: Theatre and the World – Performance and the Politics of Culture
No full textO livro Theatre and the World – Performance and the Politicsof Culture, do autor indiano Rustom Bharucha, merece ser revisitado. Neste volume, primeiramente publicado em 1990, encontram-se reunidos diferentes artigos de Bharucha a respeito da temática do interculturalismo no teatro, escritos entre 1981 e 1989. Há uma edição posterior de 1993, com um novo prefácio, no qual o autor informa sobre sua crítica ao colonialismo cultural, ao etnocentrismo, à indiferença a uma ética da representação nas transações interculturais e à globalização. Afirma que indicará os níveis de apropriação em jogo no processo de intercâmbio intercultural, aparentemente altruísta.</jats:p
