Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article analyses the regimes of transhistoricity that underlie re-creations, reconstructions, replays and reactivations of past performances. Approaching chains of transmission of performances as forms of transhistoricity makes it possible to remount them with the attitude of a genealogist (Foucault 2001). This means grasping the conflicts and the power relations that are inscribed within them in order to reveal ruptures, interruptions, discontinuities and dispersions. What reinterpretations of history do re-performances allow? What genealogies and counter-memories may emerge from the plays of repetition and difference that they present? What effects do the re-performers’ bodies – their states, their affects, and their singular corporealities – have?I conduct this reflection based on Françoise Sullivan’s Danse dans la neige, an emblematic choreographic work marking the advent of artistic modernity in Quebec. Improvised outdoors during the winter of 1948, this performance has come down to us through twenty photographs. I look at three specific moments: the reproduction of a first image in the automatist artists’ manifesto Refus global (1948); the publication of the entire corpus and its multiple re-mediations between 1977 and 2007; Luis Jacob’s installation A Dance for Those of Us Whose Hearts Have Turned to Ice (2007), in which a reinterpretation of Sullivan’s dance by a queer performance artist was screened.The transmission of Danse dans la neige falls under two contradictory transhistorical regimes. On the one hand, it is about negotiating one’s place in the narratives and institutions of Quebec art history, according to an authorial affirmation and a centripetal movement of the minority toward the majority system. On the other hand, it is a vector of deterritorialization and disentanglement by minority figures: the drag queen, the dog, the Deaf.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
