Abstract

In the following paper, I argue that The Greek Depression is the inevitable outcome of synthetic politics that understand difference through identical opposition. It is my contention that dancing, as an embodied praxis embedded within present sociopolitical territories and stratified actualities, envelops potentiality for what Deleuze and Guattari call de-stratification and de-territorialization. Drawing from their work, I call for a neo-realist understanding of the virtual capacities of the dancing body, so we can move history beyond ordinarily conceived politics and introduce not yet imagined body politics that still remain uncaptured.
