Popis: | Just below the surface of his 1913 review of Le Sacre du printemps, French literary critic Jacques Riviere issued a manifesto against the Symbolist poet Stephane Mallarme and his purported corruption of French literature. Mallarme's late-nineteenth-century writing on the ballet pantomime and Loie Fuller, which positioned dance as a symbolic ecriture corporelle, represented an erasure of the linguistic purity that Riviere and his colleagues at the Nouvelle Revue Francaise prized. Riviere's review challenges Mallarme's conception of both dance and writing, presenting the jolting clarity of Nijinsky's choreography as a crucial recovery of literary precision. |
