Comparing Aesthetics of Whiteness and Non-Whiteness in Relation to American Dance -- 3. Loe Fuller, "Goddess of Light," and Josephine Baker, 'Black Venus": Non-Narrative Choreography as Mere 'Spectacle' -- 4. George Balanchine, "Genius of American Dance": Whiteness, Choreography, Copyrightability in American Dance -- 5. Martha Graham, "Picasso of American Dance," and Katherine Dunham, 'Matriarch of Black Dance': Exoticism and Non-Whiteness in American Dance -- 6. Moving into New Directions: Cunningham and Ailey -- 7. Conclusions: Quo Vadis?.

"The effort to win federal copyright protection for dance choreography in the United States was a simultaneously racialized and gendered contest. Copyright and choreography, particularly as tied with whiteness, have a refractory history. This book examines the evolution of choreographic works from being federally non-copyrightable, unless they partook of dramatic or narrative structures, to becoming a category of works potentially copyrightable under the 1976 Copyright Act. Crucial to this evolution is the development of whiteness as status property, both as an aesthetic and cultural force and a legally accepted and protected form of property. The choreographic inheritances of Loi��e Fuller, George Balanchine, and Martha Graham are particularly important to map because these constitute crucial sites upon which negotiations on how to package bodies of both choreographers and dancers - as racialized, sexualized, nationalized, and classed - are staged, reflective of larger social, political, and cultural tensions.

520 $a "This book argues that the effort to win federal copyright protection for dance choreography in the United States was a simultaneously racialized and gendered contest. Copyright and choreography, particularly as tied with whiteness, have a refractory history. Unlike Loi�� Fuller and Martha Graham, George Balanchine, a Russian grand his estate), succeeded in gaining and maintaining full control of his choreographic creations. A hyperwhitened aesthetic and Balanchine's authority as a white male ballet-master--both manifestations of whiteness as status property--were crucial to that success. It also compares the cases of Josephine Baker, Katherine Dunham, Merce Cunningham and Alvin Ailey"-- $c Provided by publisher.
