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.
