Nietzscheovo poimanje tijela – Apologija plesa

Rad se u užem smislu bavi interpretacijom odabranih djela Friedricha Nietzschea. Pritom se paralelno s namjerom da se rasvijetle njegove misli o tijelu i plesu, pokušava uspostaviti poveznica s razmatranjima te primjenom ovih (međusobno povezanih) pojmova u antropološkim istraživanjima. Preklapanje je ovih dviju disciplina u diskursu o plesu neizbježno, budući da antropologija potrebuje opću definiciju plesa, a filozofija svijest o biološkom (karnalnom) utemeljenju čovjeka. Upravo iz navedenog proizlazi značajni doprinos Nietzscheovih razmišljanja u kojima ples shvaća kao spoj biološkog i umijeća. Osim što postavlja ples kao jedan od značajnih pojmova svoje filozofije, još važnije, prekida šutnju o plesu koji je sve dotada bio nezasluženo zanemaren u znanstvenom govoru. U širem se smislu rad bavi plesom kao činom u kojem do izražaja dolazi neodvojivost tjelesnog i kognitivnog te s tim u svezi i načinom na koji se holističko shvaćanje čovjeka odražava na uvriježene dihotomije između uma i tijela te prirode i kulture.The paper in the strict sense deals with the interpretation of selected works by Friedrich Nietzsche. In parallel to the intention of elucidate his thoughts about body and dance, this paper tries to establish a link between considerations and applications of these (interconnected) concepts in anthropological research. Overlapping between these two disciplines in so called dance discourse is inevitable, regarding the fact that anthropology needs a general definition of dance and philosophy requires the consciousness of the human (carnal) founding of man. This point is precisely where the significant contribution of Nietzsche's thinking comes from, since he understands dance as a connection between biology and art. Not only did he placed dance as one of the key notions of his philosophy, but more importantly, he broke the silence concerning the dance that has so far been neglected in scientific approach. In a broader sense, the paper deals with dance as an act in which the inseparability of the physical and cognitive is related to the way in which the holistic perception of man reflects on the established dichotomies between mind-body and nature-culture
