Inhalt
There has long been a popular perception of a connection between ballet and homosexuality, a connection that, for strategic reasons, has often been denied by those in the dance world. This book focuses on how, as makers and as audiences, queer men and women have helped to develop many of the texts, images, and legends of ballet. Further, the book explores the ways in which, from the 19th century into the 20th, ballet has been a means of conjuring homosexuality - of enabling some degree of expression and visibility for people who were otherwise declared illegal and obscene. This book presents a series of historical case studies, including the perverse sororities of the Romantic ballet, Tchaikovsky and the making of »Swan Lake«, Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and the emergence of queer modernity, the formation of ballet in America, and Genet's writings for and about ballet.
