- 요약This dissertation addresses the contemporary state and global scale of the "absolute body": the axiom that the human body exists essentially and stably as an anatomical object, prior to discursive or political complexity. In conversation with contemporary choreography and choreographers primarily of the past two decades, it shows how the body remains culturally potent when referenced even in its most reduced and physical form. Examining a range of deployments of the "absolute body" towards different aspects of political life by choreographers from four continents, this dissertation demonstrates the resonances and limitations of a global hermeneutic derived from the history of Western thought. Across many contexts, the supposed "absoluteness" of the body equates irreducibility with truth and reality and is consequently wielded as a rhetorical device, unrivaled in its power, towards often-contradictory ideological ends. Studying the cultural authority of anatomy and physiology through the lens of choreography offers critical new insight into the constantly shifting meanings of this "absolute body." Choreography, this dissertation proposes, is, at its base, a method of structuring attention toward the body and the "absoluteness" of its presence, liveness, and capacity. But choreography's dialogue between the body as physical container and what it gestures to outside or inside of itself demonstrates broader cultural instabilities surrounding what the body's morphology means.
