ABSTRACT

Written from a dance historical perspective, this article discusses the importance of balls and court theatre dance in diplomatic hospitality and the communication of policy. Synthesising a variety of sources, key examples of international communication through mute dance performance are explored for the Valois, Tudor and Scottish courts, including the reciprocity between them. It will also be argued that the trio of royal females who held power concurrently exchanged the symbolism of the nine muses signalling a desire for peace in Europe, in contrast to the militant diplomacy of kings.

早期现代欧洲的节拍与外交

摘要

本文从舞蹈历史的角度出发，讨论舞会和宫廷舞蹈在外交招待和政策交流中的重要性。综合各种资源，探索瓦卢瓦、都铎和苏格兰法院通过静音舞蹈表演进行国际交流的主要例子，包括它们之间的互惠。也有人会争辩说，与国王的好战外交相反，同时掌权的三位皇室女性交换了九位缪斯女神的象征意义，表达了对欧洲和平的渴望。
