- Abstract
The article reports that public display of nude body with its multiple and complex associations has a powerful impact on our awareness of the self and otherness. It mentions that beyond the boundaries of political activism, an explosion of nakedness has also been present in the performing arts and particularly in dance. It states that the potential of the naked body to signify primal emotion played a major role in its fight against social and sexual conventions in German Expressionism.
