| Zusammenfassung: | At its debut in 1866, La Source already had it all: dagger-wielding Muslims dominating veiled women, a magic flower in a green ecology, and a full-blown environmental crisis at the end. When the Paris Opera ballet restaged this Orientalist and colonial drama in 2011, and again in 2014, the contemporary context of homegrown jihad, climate politics, and a law banning the dissimulation of the face in public spaces, kept it relevant. At four historic performances, over 150 years, this book explores the resonance of La Source's double narrative in its contemporary contexts: the biopolitics of bodily hybridity and regeneration and the cosmopolitics of the exploitation of human and natural resources. |
