THE BODY WITHIN DANCE: A REFLECTION FROM CULTURAL INDUSTRY VIEWPOINT

Abstract

In this study, we aimed at understanding how the Cultural Industry affects the dance of frequenters (persons who usually go a place to dance) in informal spaces at Goiânia city (State of Goiás, Brazil). Such informal spaces are the place where some persons met to dance and for leisure.    A qualitative study was performed including semi-structured questionnaires and observations recorded by using notes and focusing on answering the question:  How does the cultural industry affect the body of subjects who dance in informal spaces at Goiânia city? By using our results, we observed that the cultural industry has been quite effective regarding dishabituating subjects of expressing their subjectivity.
