Lepecki Post
I find the text challenging because of the way he writes. I follow his argument to the point where text shows how the corporeal and the subjective performs both dissensual and consensual acts. Using dance and choreography as his sight of analysis, Lepecki argues that corporealities and subjectivities are produced in an ongoing tension between the "normative power of indivudualization and singularities." I find his choice of "singularities" as opposed to individualization useful because of the way the latter takes into consideration similarities without homogenizing. His argument revisits how neo-liberal economy is conditioning and attempts to break out of that conditioning, reinforces it. A crucial part of the book I am yet to grasp is the continuous use of the phrase "Monstrous Nature," his reference to the animalistic tendencies of human and the humanistic tendencies of animal. How does these concepts fits into his overall argument of using dance to explore the conditioning of neo-liberal economy. I look forward to exploring these questions in class.
