This Masters in American Dance Studies thesis engages with the notion of bodily memory as the feminist archive. Using historical, theoretical, and embodied research methods, I define the feminist archive as it relates to the field of Dance Studies at large, and in doing so investigate the liberatory power of movement. Specifically, I examine the ways in which the feminist archive subverts the Western edifices of capitalism, linear time, and heteronormativity. In doing so, I rely on Diana Taylor’s repertoire and Rebecca Schneider’s feminist archive as critical theories in asking of bodily memory’s potential to empower dance as a subversive practice. / A Thesis submitted to the School of Dance in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. / Spring Semester 2018. / April 16, 2018. / American Dance Studies, Feminist Archive / Includes bibliographical references. / Jennifer Atkins, Professor Co-Directing Thesis; Hannah Schwadron, Professor Co-Directing Thesis; Sally R.
