Improviser l’autre : spontanéité et structure dans la danse expérimentale contemporaine
Une conception de l’improvisation qui prévalait dans de nombreuses expérimentations artistiques des années soixante oppose le spontané au structuré. Cet article examine les conceptions implicites du genre et de la race que met en jeu cette image de l’improvisation, proposant de voir dans cette opposition entre le spontané et le figuré la présence implicite d’un Autre féminin et racial qui permet de découvrir la nouveauté. En examinant la façon dont l’improvisation s’est implantée dans les années soixante, j’espère contribuer à notre compréhension de l’image de l’Autre que construit la danse. J’espère aussi fournir des outils pour une critique sociale et une contestation des normes.A prevailing conception of improvisation, at work in much artistic experimentation during the 1960s, opposes the spontaneous with the structured. This essay examines the gendered and racial politics implicit in this conception of improvisation. I will argue that implicit in this opposition is a feminine and racial Other that permits the discovery of the new. By examining how improvisation was implemented in the 1960s, I hope to contribute to our understanding of how the Other is configured in dance. I also hope to assess options for social critique and questioning of the normative
Chorégraphies du genre
« Chorégraphies du genre » met la danse au centre de la discussion autour des identités de genre, à penser par et avec la chorégraphie, définie comme la tradition de codes et de conventions au travers desquels est construite la signification en danse. L’article questionne la rapidité avec laquelle les termes de performance et de performativité ont été adoptés pour penser le genre, et insiste sur une lecture incorporée, au-delà des oppositions (théorie / pratique ; essentialisme / déconstructivisme ; corporel / linguistique ; textuel / verbal), que la danse permet. Des exemples issus d’époques différentes (du XVIIIe siècle aux années 1970, des square dances à la danse post-moderne) viennent à la fois démontrer que le corps est culturellement et historiquement construit, et que le changement peut s’inscrire au sein des actions, des gestes, des mouvements, y compris d’un seul individu. L’appel chorégraphique à l’action de ce dernier finira par toucher le corps social et engendrer des nouvelles représentations, sociales et politiques. L’article donne aussi voix à plusieurs auteur·rices, dont Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, Susan Bordo, Teresa de Lauretis, ou encore John Langshaw Austin, tout en les relisant à l’aune des études en danse."Choreographies of Gender" places dance at the center of the discussion around gender identities, to be thought with and through choreography, defined as the tradition of codes and conventions through which meaning is constructed in dance. The article questions the speed with which the terms performance and performativity have been adopted to think about gender, and insists on an embodied reading, beyond oppositions (theory / practice; essentialism / deconstructivism; corporeal / linguistic; textual / verbal), that dance makes possible. Examples from different eras (from the 18th century to the 1970s, from square dances to post-modern dance) demonstrate both that the body is culturally and historically constructed, and that change can be inscribed within the actions, gestures and movements of even a single individual. The latter's choreographic call to action will ultimately affect the social body and engender new social and political representations. The article also gives voice to several authors, including Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, Susan Bordo, Teresa de Lauretis and John Langshaw Austin, while re-reading them in the light of dance studies
Pego de surpresa: Improvisação na dança e na mente
Tradução de texto da pesquisadora e artista da dança norte-americana Susan Leigh Foster, originalmente formulado como uma conferência dançada (apresentada em 1994) e mais tarde publicado no volume Taken by surprise: A Dance Improvisation Reader (2003), organizado por Ann Cooper Albright e David Gere.
O texto organiza-se em “manifestos”, que abordam diferentes camadas e aspectos da improvisação em dança, discutindo suas implicações para as teorias e discussões a respeito dos agenciamentos entre corpo e sujeito, das maneiras hegemĂ´nicas de se fazer histĂłria, das relações possĂveis entre conhecido e desconhecido, entre outros aspectos fundamentais para a reflexĂŁo sobre corporeidade, dança, cena, em seus entrelaçamentos com questões filĂłsoficas e polĂticas

Pan-Cancer Analysis of lncRNA Regulation Supports Their Targeting of Cancer Genes in Each Tumor Context
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are commonly dys-regulated in tumors, but only a handful are known toplay pathophysiological roles in cancer. We inferredlncRNAs that dysregulate cancer pathways, onco-genes, and tumor suppressors (cancer genes) bymodeling their effects on the activity of transcriptionfactors, RNA-binding proteins, and microRNAs in5,185 TCGA tumors and 1,019 ENCODE assays.Our predictions included hundreds of candidateonco- and tumor-suppressor lncRNAs (cancerlncRNAs) whose somatic alterations account for thedysregulation of dozens of cancer genes and path-ways in each of 14 tumor contexts. To demonstrateproof of concept, we showed that perturbations tar-geting OIP5-AS1 (an inferred tumor suppressor) andTUG1 and WT1-AS (inferred onco-lncRNAs) dysre-gulated cancer genes and altered proliferation ofbreast and gynecologic cancer cells. Our analysis in-dicates that, although most lncRNAs are dysregu-lated in a tumor-specific manner, some, includingOIP5-AS1, TUG1, NEAT1, MEG3, and TSIX, synergis-tically dysregulate cancer pathways in multiple tumorcontexts
Pan-cancer Alterations of the MYC Oncogene and Its Proximal Network across the Cancer Genome Atlas
Although theMYConcogene has been implicated incancer, a systematic assessment of alterations ofMYC, related transcription factors, and co-regulatoryproteins, forming the proximal MYC network (PMN),across human cancers is lacking. Using computa-tional approaches, we define genomic and proteo-mic features associated with MYC and the PMNacross the 33 cancers of The Cancer Genome Atlas.Pan-cancer, 28% of all samples had at least one ofthe MYC paralogs amplified. In contrast, the MYCantagonists MGA and MNT were the most frequentlymutated or deleted members, proposing a roleas tumor suppressors.MYCalterations were mutu-ally exclusive withPIK3CA,PTEN,APC,orBRAFalterations, suggesting that MYC is a distinct onco-genic driver. Expression analysis revealed MYC-associated pathways in tumor subtypes, such asimmune response and growth factor signaling; chro-matin, translation, and DNA replication/repair wereconserved pan-cancer. This analysis reveals insightsinto MYC biology and is a reference for biomarkersand therapeutics for cancers with alterations ofMYC or the PMN
