Abstract

ABSTRACT Though law in/and/as performance is a burgeoning area of scholarship, with scholars exploring the relation between theatre, music and law, there is substantially less attention paid to the possibilities of dancing the law. In this article, the author identifies three styles of legal dance – (1) dance as legal practice, (2) dance as legal resolution, and (3) dance as legal research – providing case studies of each from amongst contemporary dance practice. Drawing from this legal dance practice and a survey of the existing field of dance and law research, the author asserts then challenges some common dichotomies between dance and law, most predominant of which is the claim that dance is body oriented whereas law is word oriented. Arguing against this common dichotomy, as the curtains close, the author choreographs the beginnings of dance as an embodied jurisprudence – one that moves the discussion of dance and law from metaphor to methodology.

与规律共舞:从隐喻到方法论

摘要尽管表演中的法律是一个新兴的学术领域，但随着学者们探索戏剧、音乐和法律之间的关系，人们对跳法律舞的可能性的关注大大减少。在这篇文章中，作者确定了三种类型的法律舞蹈——（1）作为法律实践的舞蹈，（2）作为法律解决的舞蹈，以及（3）作为法律研究的舞蹈——提供了当代舞蹈实践中每种舞蹈的案例研究。从这种合法的舞蹈实践和对现有舞蹈和法律研究领域的调查中，作者断言并挑战了舞蹈和法律之间的一些常见的二分法，其中最主要的是舞蹈是以身体为导向的，而法律是以文字为导向的。为了反对这种常见的二分法，随着帷幕的关闭，作者将舞蹈的开端编排成一种具体的法学——一种将舞蹈和法律的讨论从隐喻转移到方法论的法学。

期刊介绍： Law and Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal, providing a forum for scholarly discourse within the arts and humanities around the subject of law. For this purpose, the arts and humanities disciplines are taken to include literature, history (including history of art), philosophy, theology, classics and the whole spectrum of performance and representational arts. The remit of the journal does not extend to consideration of the laws that regulate practical aspects of the arts and humanities (such as the law of intellectual property). Law and Humanities is principally concerned to engage with those aspects of human experience which are not empirically quantifiable or scientifically predictable. Each issue will carry four or five major articles of between 8,000 and 12,000 words each. The journal will also carry shorter papers (up to 4,000 words) sharing good practice in law and humanities education; reports of conferences; reviews of books, exhibitions, plays, concerts and other artistic publications.
