LOVON CUEVA, Carolina Mirian. Language of the body in dance. Leng. Soc. [online]. 2022, vol.21, n.1, pp.359-372.  Epub 30-Jun-2022. ISSN 1729-9721.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/lengsoc.v21i1.22505.

This article addresses the notion of the body as a manifestation of bodily and linguistic expression. The body is analyzed from the phenomenologies of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, and the western dance approach. By the 19th century, a new conception of recovering the “body” as a representation of the human being, the one that feels and is conscious of being in this world, arises. Also, the body is revalued from its expressiveness and communicability through movement. The dancing bodies configure a discourse about what they experience. This approach considers the dancing body as a way of perceiving and being perceived through language. This would make possible an approach to what is understood by the body within the spheres of philosophy, dance and linguistics.

Palavras-chave : dancing body; dance; experience; language; narrative; expression.
