| Title: | Introduction -- Bodily Performance: On Aura and Reproducibility | Authors: | Turner, B.S. | Issue Date: | Dec-2005 | Citation: | Turner, B.S. (2005-12). Introduction -- Bodily Performance: On Aura and Reproducibility. Body & Society 11 (4) : 1-17. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1177/1357034X05058017 | Abstract: | The author discusses Walter Benjamin's concepts of art & authenticity, arguing that the aura of dance can never be fully subordinated to modern techniques of reproduction. Dance is a text that has a national script -- ballet in China is different from modern dance in the United States, & it is also a gendered form. Nevertheless, Benjamin's aesthetics finds their most compelling realization in the presence of the aura of a moving body. D.
