Martha Graham, ‘An American, A kosmos’: Border-crossing in Martha Graham’s early works by Adeline CHEVRIER-BOSSEAU

“…This paper examines the connection between crossing borders (state limits, borders between America and Mexico or America and Europe, and temporal borders) and pushing choreographical boundaries in dance pioneer Martha Graham’s ballets created in the 1930’s and the early 1940’s.Danced only by women, Primitive Mysteries (1931) was inspired by Graham’s travels in New Mexico, and explores the rituals of the Native Americans of the Southern States of the United States; nine years later, Graham would explore this theme further with El Penitente, which also draws from the Medieval tradition of mystery plays.

I segni della colpa: il giurista e la lettura del corpo a Venezia nella prima età moderna by Manuela Bragagnolo
