Contrary to this assertion of aesthetic rupture, Sect. 8.2, “Textiles,” emphazises the continuities between the Dance of the Veil and the Dance of the Serpentine, showing that the extension of established textile techniques to include new lighting techniques amounted to a whitewashing by spotlights that transforms a materialistic exoticism into an abstracted universalism. Section 8.3, “Motors,” points to the technical nature of serpentine dance and outlines the material connections from which its medial effect emerges. This effect is examined in Sect. 8.4 “Effects” that describes its connection to artificial rainbows, auroras, and cloud drafts, but especially ghostly apparitions. Finally Sect. 8.5 “Cinema” discusses the early film copies of the serpentine dance and shows that it paradigmatically reflects a new energetic aesthetic of effects that is directly connected to film culture and modern dance.","PeriodicalId":522121,"journal":{"name":"J.B.
