This is a brief reflection on the consequences of the commodification of dance cultures from the former colonised world and the ways they are consumed in Europe. Inspired from ten years of fieldwork, the ethnic structuring of postcolonial dance floors in European cities proves an empirical basis to start this line of thought. Instead of promoting respect and interest in the dance forms and the cultural contexts in which these dance forms developed, aficionados tend to consider that these are less evolved, beautiful and interesting than the appropriations they develop in their home countries. As a result, commodification leads to reinforcing previous stereotypes and emic hierarchies of value. The kinetic metaphor of the bodies that scream but cannot listen structures the text and its arguments.

无法倾听的身体

这是对来自前殖民世界的舞蹈文化商品化的后果及其在欧洲的消费方式的简要反思。受十年田野调查的启发，欧洲城市后殖民舞池的民族结构证明了启动这一思路的经验基础。舞蹈爱好者没有促进对舞蹈形式和这些舞蹈形式发展的文化背景的尊重和兴趣，而是倾向于认为这些舞蹈形式不如他们在本国开发的拨款那样进化、美丽和有趣。结果，商品化会强化以前的刻板印象和价值的主位等级。那些尖叫但无法倾听的身体的动态隐喻构成了文本及其论点。
