This article explores the role a human skeleton played in the queering and shaping of dance modernism. In the early decades of the twentieth century, an important intervention propelling dance toward a modernist aesthetic while disrupting the regulatory norms of gender construction, began in a women's college gymnasium via a skeleton. Two impulses generate this archival-based inquiry: one that traces the history and symbolic formulations of nationalism, race, and gender that followed skeletons into the university as they anchored conceptualizations of the modernist dancing body; and another that locates the intervention of a queer body in dance through this skeleton.

酷儿舞蹈衣橱里的骷髅

这篇文章探讨了人体骨骼在舞蹈现代主义的酷儿和塑造中所扮演的角色。二十世纪初期，一项推动舞蹈走向现代主义审美同时打破性别建构规范的重要干预始于一所女子大学体育馆。两种冲动产生了这种基于档案的调查：一种是追溯民族主义、种族和性别的历史和象征性表述，它们随着骨骼进入大学，因为它们锚定了现代主义舞蹈身体的概念化；另一个通过这个骨架定位一个酷儿身体对舞蹈的干预。
