Накратко на български
Гендерното неравенство при предаването на знанията по индийския танц Одиси разкрива разликите в преподаването между мъже и жени. Разбирането на тези процеси помага за създаването на по-равнопоставени начини за предаване на практически умения.

Gender asymmetry in the transmission of Odissi dance in India - a case study
The relationship between transmission - or "passing on" - of knowledge and of inequalities constitutes an important social and political concern in today’s world. These inequalities are based on many factors such as, amongst others, status, ethnicity, and/or gender, and tend to reproduce both through informal daily interactions, and in occasions formally recognised as teaching and learning situations. The question of GATRODI is how this reproduction of inequalities – and more specifically of gender inequalities - takes place. In order to establish more egalitarian ways of transmitting the great variety of forms of know-how’s, it is necessary to generate an understanding of the complex ways in which unequal relationships are being established – or, since they do tend to follow repetitive patterns, transmitted. It is therefore essential to carefully document such processes in their diversity through case studies based on empirical investigations. Corporeal practices appear as particularly interesting for such an inquiry, because in the case of transmission of corporeal know-how, the object that is created coincides with the person who creates it – and so, with his or her subjectivity. For these reasons, GATRODI – Gender asymmetry in the transmission of Odissi dance in India - a case study, an MSCA-IF–GF action, focusses on the inequalities in the transmission of the know-how of Odissi dance in India, and more specifically, on gender related asymmetries in the recognition of teaching activities of this dance form. The project therefore addresses at least two questions: - What are the differences between men and women’s engagement in teaching activities? - How are corporeal practices and social life interconnected?

Цел на проекта
Gatrodi is an anthropological study of the practices of Odissi dance in India, considered by the Indian government to be the classical dance from the State of Odisha. Though the dance is practiced by male and female individuals from diverse geographical locations and status groups, it is generally male practitioners from rural areas of Odisha who are recognised as its legitimate transmitters. The women, who generally belong to urban backgrounds, are considered to be the performers of the dance. However, while they do not obtain the same recognition as the men, some women are actually transmitting Odissi. But then, how does their teaching differ from that of the men?In order to shed light on this question, the study will investigate on the modalities of transmission of female practitioners in Odissi in India. The methods of inquiry will consist primarily of observation, and also of video and audio recordings of training situations and interviews. These will be undertaken in selective dance schools in Bhubaneswar, capital city of Odisha, and in a metropolitan city of India as well.Through the above mentioned methodological tools, Gatrodi will produce a detailed ethnographic account of the teaching modalities of the women participating in the study. This shall clarify which methods, be they verbal or non verbal, they implement while transmitting the dance. Consequently, it will be possible to assess which processes are at work in these situations, and how they are related to the social order that prevails in Odissi dance networks. The teaching activities of the women will further be compared to those of the men. In this way, Gatrodi will shed light on the dynamics of transmission of Odissi and the processes of legitimisation of its methods, thereby documenting how, beyond the particular case that is being studied, body practice and social life are interconnected.
