Abstract

This research evaluates significant histories of Busan’s University ballet on the basis of Foucault’s genealogical method, using Busan from 1979 to the present as a spatiotemporal range. Not only does the main analytic framework rest upon Foucault's concept of power-knowledge but is also instantaneously interwoven with Lacan’s theory of desire and Bourdieu’s notion of power to make it far more enhanced. By doing so, Chapter 2 explains the hegemony reorganization of domestic university ballet according to the discourse of the times and state-led as the effect of “police”. The next one analyzes the power-knowledge that drives the formation and decline of Busan university ballet as the following three aspects: first, it is explained as the ‘paradox of exclusion’ composed of the context of both center-phallus-governmentality and multi-layered distinction and habitus, second, pyramid structure and closedness, and third, neoliberal governmentality. Finally, what is suggested is that now is the time for university ballet in Busan to reflect on the feasible 'ballet as learning' away from the impossible network of knowledge that can cultivate talents needed in all areas of ballet.
