Cartographies of Movement (2024 conference)Submit to a Hub...Read more about DSA presentation formats HERE. Hubs are meant to gather individuals around a stated theme, meeting for 90-minutes on all 3 days of the conference. More than any other presentation format, Hubs allow participants to gather repeatedly in close community throughout the conference - offering the potential for deep engagement. For the 2024 conference, working groups were invited to submit a proposal for a Hub. Below are the 6 Hubs chosen from these submissions. Each 2024 Hub is specifically programmed and curated, so please read the Hub format description (as well as the thematic framing). The 2024 submission portal will open on November 1st and you may choose to submit to one of these 6 Hubs. NOTE: Individuals may only submit once, and thus must choose whether to submit to a Hub or as an individual paper panelist, etc. NOTE: All accepted presenters must be DSA members in good standing. You do not need to be a DSA member to apply for presentation. NOTE: The 2024 conference is an in-person gathering.
Screendance Hub SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND DESCRIPTION (in English, Spanish, & Portuguese) Join members of the Dance and Technology Working Group for a practical, creative exploration of site-specific screendance during the 2024 conference. This workshop-format hub will serve as a gathering for screendance makers to share their craft in collaboration with each other to create a work of art during the conference sessions. Dancing through diaspora: Migratory Explorations in Contemporary Times SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND DESCRIPTION (in English, Spanish, & Portuguese) This Hub invites artists, scholars and activists to explore approaches, experiences, and limitations as well as utopias of moving within and through diaspora. We invite participants to discuss their perspectives through the lens of dance practice, scholarship, and/or pedagogy and focus on examining diaspora and migration as: network, adaptation and location. Moving the Margins of the Long Nineteenth Century: Cartographies of Time & Space
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND DESCRIPTION (in English, Spanish, & Portuguese) The very notion of the long nineteenth century was developed in Europe and is anchored by its historical dates and political ideologies. By interrogating the space and time of the long nineteenth century – and thus the very conceptual framework of the Dancing the Long Nineteenth Century Working Group – and acknowledging that cultural exchange and circulation serve as engines of creativity, we aim to move beyond a national or continental model of inquiry.
Activating Asian and Asian Diaspora Dance Futures: Creating Resilience Through Community SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND DESCRIPTION (in English, Spanish, & Portuguese) The goal of this Hub is to support the field of Asia and Asian diaspora dance studies by building community among scholars who work in this field from a variety of locations, positionalities, and research topics. The Hub responds to concerns expressed in past meetings of the DSA Asian and Asian Diaspora Dance Studies Working Group regarding the sense of isolation felt by many scholars of Asian and Asian diaspora dance in their home institutions.
Locating Popular Dance Across Institutions and Archives SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND DESCRIPTION (in English, Spanish, & Portuguese) The Hub will focus on the relations between “popular dance” and institutions. The notion of popular dance, broadly construed as dances performed by the people and/or that are popular in mass media, might also be defined by practitioners and/or audiences as folk, vernacular, social, street, and commercialized forms that circulate from body to body and across various forms of media.
