This essay argues that dance festivals are choreographed spaces that shape cultural heritage. The Konark Dance Festival in Odisha, India, is an annual program situated around the Konark Sun Temple, a UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site. The following explores the interrelationship between the modern space of the temple monument and the modern format of festival dances in Konark. The festival project juxtaposes the monument’s archaeological value with the dances’ cultural value in choreographic neatness, which requires a critical interrogation to determine the negotiations, appropriations, and discomfort these processes otherwise entail. This article also branches out into cultural discourses beyond the stated festival that examine the historical, diplomatic, and touristic networks the dance festival often encompasses. Following the creation of the modern state of Odisha (in 1936) and of the independent nation of India (in 1947), Odisha regional dance forms were remodelled to produce the state dance Odissi, which gained national “classical” recognition in the 1960s and subsequent international repute. Odissi dance has subsequently been formulated and globally circulated as an anthropomorphic symbol of the geopolitical state of Odisha. Through ethnography, visual study, and choreographic analysis, this essay explores the (re)presentational aspects of the region-state in and through dance, which rhetorically inform the staging of the Konark Dance Festival.

上演治国方略:印度奥里萨邦科纳克的舞蹈节和文化表现



本文认为,舞蹈节是塑造文化遗产的精心编排的空间。印度奥里萨邦的科纳克舞蹈节是一年一度的节目,位于联合国教科文组织认可的世界遗产科纳克太阳神庙周围。以下内容探讨了寺庙纪念碑的现代空间与科纳克节日舞蹈的现代形式之间的相互关系。艺术节项目将纪念碑的考古价值与舞蹈的文化价值并列在编排整洁中,这需要批判性的审问来确定这些过程所带来的谈判、挪用和不适。本文还扩展到了既定节日之外的文化话语,研究了舞蹈节通常包含的历史、外交和旅游网络。随着现代奥里萨邦(1936 年)和印度独立国家(1947 年)的成立,奥里萨邦地区舞蹈形式被改造为产生国家舞蹈 Odissi,该舞蹈在 1960 年代获得了国家“古典”认可,并随后获得了国际声誉。奥迪西舞随后被制定并作为奥里萨邦地缘政治状态的拟人化象征在全球范围内传播。通过民族志、视觉研究和编舞分析,本文探讨了在舞蹈中并通过舞蹈探讨地区国家的(重新)表现方面,这些方面为科纳克舞蹈节的舞台提供了修辞信息。
