Countering the historiographic under-representation of Greek modern dance, this article focuses on early twentieth-century dance artist Vassos Kanellos. Combining Western/European choreographic inputs and local, often traditional, elements, Kanellos rearticulated the inscription of Greek dance in historical time—beyond a sole focus on antiquity—and anchored it in a nationally marked space and in the specificity of a posited Greek “race.” Informed by new modernist studies, this article reads Kanellos's practice as a reflection of the country's process of constructing a hegemonic national identity against a background in which Greece constituted both Europe's subaltern periphery and the foundation of its genealogical narrative.

编舞的接近与差异：瓦索斯·卡内洛斯的希腊性表演作为与西方舞蹈现代性的具体谈判

针对希腊现代舞史学代表性不足的问题，本文重点关注二十世纪早期的舞蹈艺术家瓦索斯·卡内洛斯 (Vassos Kanellos)。卡内洛斯将西方/欧洲的编舞输入和当地的（通常是传统的）元素相结合，重新阐明了希腊舞蹈在历史时期的铭文——超越了对古代的唯一关注——并将其锚定在一个国家标记的空间和一个假定的希腊“种族”的特殊性中。受新现代主义研究的启发，本文将卡内洛斯的实践解读为希腊在希腊既构成欧洲的底层边缘又构成其谱系叙事基础的背景下构建霸权国家认同的过程的反映。
