Cultural aspects of categorization "dance"

Abstract

In this article an attempt to expose the revealing of а culturalurological aspect of a category "dance" has been undertaken. Dance - a huge reservoir of human culture, which absorbs and transmits its own methods and means all inherited a complex social ways of life and beliefs, which is the essence of our being. Dance is not just has its place in the socio-cultural reality, but also reflects the whole culture of the relevant historical period in its entirety. The task of understanding the phenomenon of dance become a subject of research not only art- science and other scientific disciplines, including cultural studies, which determines the relevance of its research within it. The author offers a perspective reflection choreography within the cultural aspects of the trial. Dance Place (wider - choreography) today has not been sufficiently defined. Traditionally accepted oriental dance seen in the discourse. Today, however, theoretical research in the field of semiotics, philosophy, culture, history, art history, psychology, education, anthropology , along with the rapid development of modern information technologies that enhance scientific understanding of the problem, provide an opportunity to consider it through the analysis of a wider range of sources. It should be noted that, in addition, there are ontological and epistemological problems of dance. Analysis of studies in recent years has shown that dance does not fit into rigid categories of "art". The concept of "Dance" extends to actions that do not fall under this category, it is one of the most common phenomena of human culture. We propose to treat dance as a form of social consciousness, reflecting the reality in images and participate in social and cultural historical development. In this context it is important to note that the history of choreography has for centuries and has its countdown of the distant past. According to the historical development of human ontology choreographed part of world culture distinguishes several modes of operation Dance: archaic, ancient, religious, medieval, medieval courtly (and people's court), and the mode of professional art (classical dance, romantic dance, dance, modern, postmodern dance, etc.). The first mention of dancing related cosmological myth in which the dance takes part in the birth of the world from chaos (eg. Hindu mythology). The myth becomes reality choreographed continuous culture , from protokulturе when he (the myth) served an ideological function, and dance was part of a religious community or ritual. That choreography detached in art since ancient times, as evidenced by numerous artifacts depicting people dancing, and ancient theaters, i.e. buildings that were built specifically to perform at these works of art, including choreography . The creative works of ancient philosophers - Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Lucian, Damona, Pythagoras, Protagoras, and others. - problems "music" arts (dance, music, poetry) took the top spot. Antique kalahatiya aimed to nurture harmonious person, which combines intellectual, physical, moral and aesthetic. Intellectual development combined with physical perfection of the body. The ancient Greeks knew how to dance and gymnastics means of healing the body (Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles). In the "dark ages" of the Middle Ages (V-XI). Formed opposite types of thinking. Some thinkers of (Clement of Alexandria, Basil the Great) was considered dance symbol of the unity of God, the symbol of his understanding of the nature of space. Others (St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, etc.). Condemned dance, calling it a product defect and luxury. Renaissance provided a magical flowering of plastic art. Anthropocentrism, humanism and rethinking Christian tradition led to the absolute transformation of the human personality and to the professional arts activity. Rationalism and natural- scientific approach of modern times with respect to the problem of physicality helped to initiate the formation of scientific and methodological framework choreography (AP Boshan, R. Foyye, Noverr). This, in turn, contributed to the emergence of a new ontological mode of dance - professional classical ballet, which was formed during the climax of prosperity scoring courtly culture, and later turned into a particularised form of art. With the advent of new types of dances are attempts to conceptualize them. XV- XVII century marked by sound scientific approach to dance: a special edition of the literature on technology not only perform, but also extending the dance in society. The origin of academic ballet accompanied by the development of theatrical dance terminology and important role in this development has gained notation (Latin notatio - entry) choreographic works, that procedure for recording information data dance moves means a system. In the Age of Enlightenment in the development of choreographic ideas influenced philosophical priorities of Diderot and Voltaire F. Thanks Noverra, ballet developed into an art form, which was of great public importance. The new artistic direction - romanticism, which reached a climax of its peak in the middle of the nineteenth century. Changing cultural era led to the formation of the early XX century new dance trend (modern), based on free plastic body. Dance increasingly favor striking phenomenon postmodern era. At the turn of the XX-XXI centuries have seen the formation of synthetic art forms growing trend towards the interpenetration of different arts. Peculiar experience gained in this way and ballet postmodernism. Postmodernist ballet is a striking combination of various dance techniques and traditions, all historical modes of the dance of life, based on a conception of philosophical understanding of dance.
