푸코(M. Foucault)와 포사이드(W. Forsythe)의 ‘헤테로토피아’ 논의

This paper is a comparative study of M. Foucault’s idea of ‘heterotopia’ with William Forsythe’s dance work which has the same title heterotopia (2006) to figure out the influences of Foucault’s idea on Forsythe’s work and the differences between the two. I discuss the way of ‘thinking in different’ in the process of explaining the influences of Foucault’s idea on Forsythe’s work and study Forsythe’s continuously vanishing moments of movement which offers a redefinition of dance as the process of embodied disappearance. In conclusion, as Forsythe said himself, Foucault was useful to start something. But It was not useful to finish it. Thus Foucault’s ideas were very suggestive in terms of procedure of experimenting Forsythe’s insatiable and awesome intellectual curiosity.
