The entire fourth series of the award-winning ITV costume drama
following the lives and loves of those above and below stairs in an
English stately home. It's 1922, and six months after a tragic car
accident, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) is still trying to come to
terms with her loss. Meanwhile, as mass unemployment, political
upheaval and economic crisis threaten the social order of the day,
the family and staff of Downton Abbey try to adjust to life in a
changing world.
Dance music plays a central role in the cultural, social,
religious, and family lives of the people of the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. Among the various genres popular in the
capital city of Kinshasa, Congolese rumba occupies a special place
and can be counted as one of the DRC’s most well-known cultural
exports. The public image of rumba was historically dominated by
male bandleaders, singers, and musicians. However, with the
introduction of the danseuse (professional concert dancer) in the
late 1970s, the role of women as cultural, moral, and economic
actors came into public prominence and helped further raise
Congolese rumba’s international profile. In Congo’s Dancers,
Lesley Nicole Braun uses the prism of the Congolese danseuse to
examine the politics of control and the ways in which notions of
visibility, virtue, and socio-economic opportunity are interlinked
in this urban African context. The work of the danseuse highlights
the fact that public visibility is necessary to build the social
networks required for economic independence, even as this
visibility invites social opprobrium for women. The concert dancer
therefore exemplifies many of the challenges that women face in
Kinshasa as they navigate the public sphere, and she illustrates
the gendered differences of local patronage politics that shape
public morality. As an ethnographer, Braun had unusual access to
the world she documents, having been invited to participate as a
concert dancer herself.
