Critical Race Theory and Copyright in American Dance - Whiteness as Status Property (Hardcover)

The effort to win federal copyright protection for dance
choreography in the United States was a simultaneously racialized
and gendered contest. Copyright and choreography, particularly as
tied with whiteness, have a refractory history. This book examines
the evolution of choreographic works from being federally
non-copyrightable, unless they partook of dramatic or narrative
structures, to becoming a category of works potentially
copyrightable under the 1976 Copyright Act. Crucial to this
evolution is the development of whiteness as status property, both
as an aesthetic and cultural force and a legally accepted and
protected form of property. The choreographic inheritances of Loie
Fuller, George Balanchine, and Martha Graham are particularly
important to map because these constitute crucial sites upon which
negotiations on how to package bodies of both choreographers and
dancers - as racialized, sexualized, nationalized, and classed -
are staged, reflective of larger social, political, and cultural
tensions.
