Recenzii
This
book
is
a
treasure
chest
of
personages
and
practices-everyone
from
Kandinsky
to
Blok,
from
Scriabin
to
Shklovsky,
and
multiple
souls
in
between;
everything
from
Dalcroze
Eurythmics
to
the
Foxtrot.
It
offers
dynamic
new
ways
to
view
the
cultural
history
of
this
time.
It
all
but
exhorts
its
readers
to
go
out
and
dance
themselves.
Many
sources
were
crunched
to
make
this
book's
chapters,
and
many
exciting
roads
lead
out
of
them
into
future
projects.
This volume examines kinesthesia-the sense of movement-as a foundation of personal knowledge and cultural innovation, claiming primacy of kinesthesia over the other senses in that it affords unmediated contact with the world. Grounding their analysis of this "sixth sense" in historical context, Sirotkina and Smith reference the attraction of late-19th-century Europeans to ancient Hellenic life, citing a joyful universalism that particularly appealed to late czarist and revolutionary-era Russians. Evidencing the spirit of "exuberant modernism," movement-particularly dance-is seen as central to avant-garde culture, infusing poetry, mysticism, literary analysis, graphic art, and theater. Andrei Bely's acute sensitivity to gesturebecomeshis verse, and Vladimir Mayakovsky is seen to compose "posters, like poems, with his whole body." The celebrated artistic union of Sergei Yesenin and Isadora Duncan comes to life as a shining instance of the primacy of movement across the arts, and Vsevolod Meyerhold develops his biomechanical exercises for training actors. The concluding chapter projects the avant-gardists' primacy of movement to present-day validation of kinesthetic experience as a vital source of knowledge. The translation is labored in places, but the extensive notes and suggestions for further reading compensate and make the book invaluable. Summing Up: Recommended.
