Abstract

This article emphasizes the challenges in researching the History field of knowledge focused on the dance practice and its productions, particularly when organized as a curricular component in a major in dance -an undergraduate course. The crisis that is faced with the colonizing recognition of knowledge is analyzed here from an anti-colonial Marxist perspective where the questioning of the contents and the historical narratives take center stage. In addition, one may wonder what position the knowledge of the official history of dance occupies. How to intersect the knowledge that has already been produced withthe reality and the subjects' stories of the present time? In this sense, this historiography of dance ends up underlining what has been, and still is, hegemonic and what has been made invisible. The underdone past, that exists and lives in the present, carries in itself the contradictions and the condition for reshaping and transformation.
