Dance-work: Images of Organization in Irish Dance
以爱尔兰经济繁荣期（凯尔特虎）与舞蹈现象《大河之舞》的共时性为切入点，探讨工作组织变革与文化生产消费之间的关联，识别出爱尔兰舞蹈发展的三个历史时刻，并借此叙事揭示19-20世纪爱尔兰工作关系的转型。
The Irish economic boom, commonly known as the Celtic Tiger, provides an interesting and unique opportunity to explore the relationship between the profound shifts in the organization of working life and in the production and consumption of culture. In this paper, we confine our inquiry into the relationship with one aspect of popular culture, namely dance, focusing on the phenomenon of Riverdance which emerged contemporaneously with the Celtic Tiger. We argue that both are deeply immersed in larger organizing discourses, historical narratives about national identity and civilizing attempts to control the body. We identify three distinct `moments' in the development of Irish dance, which we label as pre-national, `Traditional' Ireland; national, `Modern', Parochial Ireland and global, `Post-modern' Ireland. This provides a narrative through which we explore the transformation of working relations in Ireland during the 19th and 20th centuries.
