The individual as an<br />
entity is multifarious<br />
and amorphous with<br />
its shifting biological<br />
processes and<br />
socio-political<br />
relations, one can<br />
be translated into a<br />
pluralism of<br />
different possible<br />
subjectivities.
The body<br />
is more than<br />
<strong>the</strong> contour of<br />
its shape. What<br />
happens when<br />
those shapes<br />
do not fit<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir respective<br />
codes?
Yet when one type is <strong>the</strong> role model of<br />
civilisation, all o<strong>the</strong>r types of bodies are<br />
deemed inferior, multiple cultures,<br />
subjectivities and historicist processes<br />
excluded as o<strong>the</strong>r.
Dancing is criticalkinetic<br />
potential to<br />
disrupt and<br />
destabilise<br />
normative attitudes<br />
towards <strong>the</strong> body,<br />
to emancipate from<br />
constrains of mere<br />
representation to<br />
produce alternative<br />
modes of being.
The death of man, <strong>the</strong> end of history, <strong>the</strong> crisis of language, <strong>the</strong> destabilisation of a<br />
fixed centrality pave <strong>the</strong> way for <strong>the</strong> deconstruction of Woman in all o<strong>the</strong>r categories<br />
and <strong>the</strong> life of animal, plant, bacteria and nonhuman entities.
