| Sumario: | In this study, I reflect upon my belly dance research that I have been conducting
since the last three years in three different countries and five different cities, with
women having various experiences. To be able to analyze the effect of this research
on myself as a researcher, I construct a chronological narrative which first focuses
on my corporeality and my relation with dance before this research. I continue
to investigate my personal experiences as dancer-researcher, dramaturg, dance
student etc. in the research process without creating dualities between artistic and
scientific research or corporeal and intellectual experiences.
My personal experiences constitute my primary resources in this study. I also
discuss some secondary sources on feminist methodology and different women’s
belly dance experiences. I make an analysis on the basis of some principles of
feminist methodology like situated knowledge, self-reflexivity, the focus on
women’s experiences, working with women for empowerment. I also reflect upon
the effect of the research on myself as the researcher, especially the change in my
corporeal expression in daily life and within performance contexts. To analyze
my personal experience in a wider context, I relate this change in my corporeality
with academic belly dance literature which discuss other women’s belly dance
experiences in various historical and geographical contexts. |
