for article titled, The Dance That Will Not Die: Refracting Imperial Whiteness through The Dying Swan
Michel Fokine’s 1905 ballet The Dying Swan continues to be performed across cultures and genres. Each new Dying Swan registers a particular racial experience of imperial power and privilege and a specific gendered relation to whiteness as an occupying force. Together, these dances illustrate the performance of white fragility as part of the imperial tradition.
