God is maimed? She dances alone

....
To ancient man, the earth was a flat disc surrounded by ocean, which had the Heaven above and hell below until the sixth century BC, the Presocratics modified this concept by introducing the hypothesis of its flotation in a space free, dynamic and balanced by two metaphysical forces, such as dual power, would act as a counterweight.
.
goodness that since the thought of these philosophers, is attributed to the right, surely must be connected to the right hand in all natural events: the appearance of birth and death Sun and the analogy between this-right-light-life and West-left-dark-death.
.
This theory of the clash of opposites, would soon become postulate of cosmic justice as a symbol of harmony tense, ultimately all the profound unity of the universe. A good representative of that image is sculpted on the outside of the central apse in Santiago Agüero, the contrast of opposites in perfect harmony, the reign of cosmic justice.
.......
Once in Rome, derectus, contained a semantic feature positive and spatial significance "right", dexter-to would retain the same meaning evaluative in meaning to the supportive and enabling, as opposed to whilenot or sinextra , which form part of speeches always negative, vicious, adverse or ominous, adjective and taboo word that despite being replaced by the euphemistic term semantically Celtic 'left (Kerr) "as a designation sinextra space, it would still tinged with their own negative traits to the point that all previous civilizations in the Mediterranean our era, it meant the direction of death.
contributed
Christian Religion strongly to the establishment and dissemination of the connotation of right and left. In the biblical texts often appear opposition between different elements: the good and evil, heaven and hell, light and dark, with many passages that testify to the strength and power or honor and goodness associated with the position right, as opposed to evil and selfishness, related to the left (Genesis, 8, Exodus, 29; Leviticus 7, San Mateo, 25).

The issue before us today, the Domini Dextera can be a good example of how the lexicon is often true carrier and transmitter of the culture of the community that uses . Thus, in the Romanesque hand characterize the divine manifestation of God's voice, the power that creates all that exists, which guide and saves, heals, the blessing, which appeals as a witness or alliance contract and also to punish and crush the enemy, as you use the right or left.

.

... And the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering.

The Domini Dextera scene with Abel is one of the most common configurations to represent conformity, support and satisfaction of God. A sure sign that God is right.

.

.

A curious and unique representation of the Domini Dextera appears in the cloister of San Pedro el Viejo in Huesca. In this configuration is shown holding the wrist of Christ in Majesty in the almond. Paradoxically, as if it were a chain, is the Son sinistra which is ringed by the right hand of the Father, in clear reference to his ascension into heaven.

Adam is raised and also grabbed by his left wrist in the mural of Veracruz Maderuelo, but for this, the Creator uses its sinistra, instead of the right hand used to lift up Christ in the previous representation, which can give us much to think about the different conceptual levels attributed to the action performed.

.

.

. Dextera God The emerging under crismón of Santa Maria de Iratxe. Here crismón dexterity and are equivalent, beginning and end, light and darkness are regarded as sacred by the hand of God. It is the largest emananción of metaphysics, inexorably linking the statement of the principle uncreated. It is God who holds the world so that, if left to do only for a moment, it would immediately disappear. It symbolizes the continuous creation, matter sustained by the Spirit. His power transcends everything.

.

Another image is unprecedented for the murals of the synagogue of Dura-Europos (Syria). This sequence novel and peculiar action depicted on both hands of God. With right-recurring three times, "aids and protects, while with his left draws a one-time-cause death and destruction.

"The Lord will dry up the sea of \u200b\u200bEgypt, will raise his hand against the Euphrates. And yet his anger is not appeased, his hand still threatening" (Isaiah, 9 , 11,16.20)


.................................... **************

The notions of the symbolic nature of the terms "right" "left" have been subjected to such strong evaluative process, which have come to constitute a universal cultural.
.

But ... Does God have hands?. And if it does, for medieval people the impression that he had "left hand" .

Dance. Dance as entertainment was one of the favorite entertainment of the ancient Egyptians, but it is unlikely that it was a social pastime, at least among the upper classes. The dancers were usually women and the dance is more like a rhythmic motion that one that one that needs plenty of energy. The dancers were often seen in depictions of banquets. They also appear in funeral processions, and in any case accompanied by music and clapping. Apparently existeron war dances and harvest performed by men who are likely formed national dances. (COLI. Dictionary Egyptian Archaeology).

.
According to etymology, the word "dancing" comes from the Frankish "dintjan" -old West-Germanic language, whose meaning would "rocking, swaying, moving from side to side ". We conceptualized the uniform and quiet movement whose contemplation soothes the soul.
.
As the etymology of "dancing", linguists have no clear origin, but they agree in indicating that the common word to describe the dance in Latin, is "saltare" and originally meant "repeated jumping." This definition leads us to think of a rapid movement, more lively, outgoing and lively movement, whose verve we turn the soul.
.
Currently both the dance floor and dance are synonymous, but we wonder if the Romanesque period were also concepts as interchangeable as now.
.
would be interesting to know whether an earlier time for these criteria, women who were initiated in the art of dance were indoctrinated to jump and acrobatics or dance particularly associated to sway gently to the sound of music and if so, may occur as in ancient Egypt, it would be a dance characteristic of a high class status.
.
Today we wanted to analyze the issue of "dancer" in Romanesque iconography with the aim of, through some plays, go into the multiplicity of points view that nature, things and symbols were for the humanist man of the Middle Ages. We would like to start with the most represented historic dancing on the stones Romance: "Salome."

.

.

We usually recognize this character when we see the dancer located near a banquet and / or by the figure of Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee, which and according to tradition, moved to contemplate the harmonious nice girl dance, offered as a prize that she requested the head Baptist "on a silver platter."

In these representations Salome acts alone, there appears accompanists often using a small musical instrument that helps you keep pace in their ceremonial subtle movement.

.

.

Despite the bad reputation that the dance of Salome has gained in Church teaching, we must consider the location where the action is performed by the presumed requirement of teaching choreography given to upper-class women may be sufficient to denote the solemnity of a dance of these characteristics.

.

After the dancing figure of Salome, it appears another representation treated as "woman of dirty tricks" that the influence of the above, coupled with the prevailing cultural interests that manipulated the time the concept with the art of ambiguity, contribute to the representation of the lady who dances alone to the tuba and giga are being incorporated from the Psycomachia Prudencio, the ideal prototype the sin of lust.

.

and dance, that harmonic balancing since time immemorial was a sublime and harmonious development of liberating beauty, a sacred reflection of enjoyment of life, began to acquire a reputation immoral, sinful even evil.

.

Whatever the case, this form of dance would remain very popular and our Romance is full of representations.

.

.

............................................. ********

.

One of the finest examples of Romanesque dance, we have the famous dancer writhing back position his arms around the waist as jar while displaying her long hair at ground level. Contemplation suggests a carefree and fun image while admirable and revealing.

.

Among the workshops they chiseled this particular scene, the most admired by romanicófilos are undoubtedly attributed to the workshop of master Agüero, and it is here where noticed a curious "norm" that seems to predominate in this workshop:

.

in this specific "step dance" in which the woman turns her body to sweep the floor with her hair appears in a duo with a single musician, curiously when the musical instrument used is a tuba, or similar, the dancer is accompanied by a man , however, some exceptions, when the instrument used is a harp, the dancer is paired with another woman .

.

.

.

The problem in understanding these performances of dance lies in the lack of codes of their movements, so we wonder if detail is so carefully chance or reflects a real meaning is unknown to us the time.
.
.
......................................... ********
.

On the other hand, we also have other popular Roman staging: the celebrity dance, dancer, acrobat, jumping, jumps and twists. A figure that usually found surrounded by musicians, jugglers and acrobats.
.


.
The calm and sophisticated movement of the dancers, perhaps a higher social class, gives way here plebeian women using the "saltare" as a means of subsistence, linked to the origins of theater and circus, disreputable itinerant groups normally associated with charlatans and puppeteers, destined to go from city to city to continue their occupations and street tasks, which are proclaimed and entertain the crowd going.
.

and Roman examples to differentiate between dancer and contortionist, we wanted to study two performances bring distant, geographically and chronologically:
.
.

.
.
We refer to the Romanesque church of Magdalena de Tudela (Navarra) and the San Pablo de Úbeda (Jaén). Both figures are next to a fellow musician and both conform to your body an inverted U. The hand position different discipline from another, as long as the dancer puts his hands navarra the waist, the higher the Andalusian contortionist over his head in order to support the ground .
.
.
The mystery of the dance is condensed in the figure of the contortionist. She is everything rewarded, punished, have fun. With his trade, his show is forever new, because continually creates beholders and walks away empty-handed and without fear death because her death as a friendly game, is the larger livelihood.
.
.
The dance that was overshadowed by the monotheistic religions within households and social pastime, is no longer part of the ceremonies to become mere entertainment.

.
. .
.
How far is the rough "saltare" and the sublime "dintjan" but however, their concepts are already united and fused.
