Aesthetic Bodily Intentionality in Dance: Developing the Classical Notion of Intentionality

Keywords: Husserl; Merleau-Ponty; bodily intentionality; dance; aesthetic bodily intentionality
Summary/Abstract: In this article, my main strategy is to analyze Merleau-Ponty’s use of intentionality in order to do three things: first, I delineate Merleau-Ponty’s departures from Husserl’s semantic conception of intentionality. Second, I clarify and develop Merleau-Ponty own positive and distinctive account of perception in terms of bodily intentionality. Thirdly, I suggest that Merleau-Pontian account of the bodily intentionality is incomplete because it cannot describe the bodily movement in dance.
