Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Identity construction. Self. Multimodality.Abstract
The aim of this article is to investigate how the physical and non-physical elements in Zach Gross’s short video of two ballerinas at the Metropolitan Opera House performing a scene of Onegin, a Tchaikovsky’s opera based on Pushkin’s classical literary work, contribute to represent the main female character – Tatyana – around which the story takes place. The study is theoretically and methodologically built on the actor-network theory (ANT) and multimodal analysis as defined in Banks (2015). The main point was to show how the networking of human and non-human objects, including the body itself, takes place across physical and virtual spaces in the expression of the self.Downloads
