The Globalization of Schuhplattler

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 January 2013

Abstract

This paper analyzes three aspects of the globalization ofSchuhplattler (slap dance), a German-Austrian folk dance. First, there is the actual geographical migration of the dance; second its integration into other artworks, such as modern dance choreographies and films; and third its commercialization through new media technologies, notably Pepsi-Cola's transnational advertising campaign during the 2006 soccer World Cup. The paper assesses the effects of global migration on the worldwide perception of Schuhplattler and its impact on images of Germany.
