This conference will bring together pioneers in dance and anthropology with contemporary scholars in the field of cross-cultural dance studies. A primary objective is to reexamine theories and methods for dance cultural studies introduced at the 1972 CORD conference held in Tucson, Arizona. Connecting past and present, the 2006 conference continues dialogues that explore current and innovative research within the framework of human cultures and societies.
At the heart of dance cultural study is the comparative process, which considered emic and etic perspectives and investigative strategies. Emic frames are subjective points of view by participants in the culture as well as by individual scholars who are researching selective dance cultures.
Conversely, etic frames are objective points of view that researchers employ to study phenomena comparatively. Interaction between emic and etic views facilitate holistic interpretation and fundamentally define the process of cross-cultural or comparative dance study. To promote the most comprehensive inquiry of this process, the 2006 CORD conference with CCDR at Arizona State University Department of Dance will provide a forum for the presentation of scholarly papers, panels, roundtables, workshops, and activities that focus on emic and etic views and approaches as they pertain to dance cultures and dance researchers/scholars.
Highlights of the 2006 conference will include a keynote speech by Allegra Fuller Snyder, the co-coordinator for the 1972 CORD conference, a guest presentation by Steven Feld, McArthur fellow and ethnomusicologist, a pre- conference event "A Window into the Ritual Dances of Guadalupe, Arizona: a Special CCDR Event" at the world-renowned Heard Museum, an In Memoriam tribute, the Inauguration of the new CCDR Headquarters at ASU, the Rhythms of Life concert, and a centennial tribute to Eleanor King.
