问题             Although the dance critic Connerton defines social memory as composed of
       the recollections and images of the past that a particular social group considers
       worthy of preservation, he does not properly account for its development. By
Line    highlighting the role of dance’s ritual enactment in conveying and sustaining
(5)      social memory, he emphasizes dance performance’s unconscious
       communications, rather than the conscious transmission of the community’s
       folklore and history. While he successfully establishes that "bodily social
       memory of dance" is a highly conservative force that creates an inertia in
       society’s structures and may be implicated in the legitimization of the present
(10)     social order, he does not adequately account for the complexities in the
       processes of bodily inscription, for it is precisely because bodily automatism
       limits the scope for critical evaluation, or readability, that the body is a site of
       intense struggle over the control of what is inscribed upon it. Nor does
       Connerton acknowledge that the very physical violence he describes as
(15)     perpetrated upon bodies, especially subordinate bodies, to habituate them to
       submissive dance postures, attests in reality to their unwillingness to submit to
       inscription, and not vice-versa. Thus his theory is helpful in articulating the
       nature of social memory, but ultimately fails to explain how such memories are
       acquired.
