Institutionnalisation de la danse hip-hop et récits autobiographiques des artistes chorégraphes

Abstract

In the process of institutionalising hip-hop, which began more than twenty years ago, competition arose between the value systems and rationales for action separating generations of dancers with working class origins, torn between choreography, which was encouraged by public institutions, and competitive dancing. The result was a conflicting situation that forced professional dancers to justify themselves and reconstruct their own biographical itineraries in the public realm where they were often required to talk about themselves. ©Belin.
