Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Barbara, 2005.

From the nineteenth century forward, the effects of accelerating mobility in daily life alter not only the pace of day-to-day existence, but most certainly writers' perception of and attitude toward movement itself. As mobility comes to define the modern experience, a sense of movement in textual descriptions becomes a crucial element, transforming the very notion of authenticity in representation. As a consequence of this change, authors begin to reflect on the nature of language, putting into question the descriptive powers of the written word. A recurring emblem of movement, and indeed of writing itself, is that of dance during this period. In this dissertation, I first establish the cultural and historical context in which Balzac, Mallarme, Claudel, Valery, and Cendrars were writing, by drawing on significant, contemporaneous developments in dance and art history, aesthetics, psychology, and popular culture. I then analyze the role and impact of danced movement on poetic thought and form, drawing from an array of verse and prose writings composed by these writers. As I show in my analysis, reflection on danced movement challenges these authors to redefine and expand the poetic dimensions of prose while infusing poetic form with dynamism. As these writers seek to evoke movement in the text, they also engage with philosophical questions of time, space, and the nature of thought itself. Moreover, they call into question the limits of traditional ekphrastic description, gradually abandoning static portraiture for the rhythmic vitality of abstract form and the immediacy of experiential contact. In so doing, they construct a modernist poetics in which movement is central.
