Abstract

With the “gaze” theory focusing on and explaining the human body and its discipline phenomena, this paper uses field investigation methods, observation and recording methods, in-depth interviews and other methods to study the body performance and cultural expression of Mosuo ethnic twist dance from the four aspects of body narrative and original code, body performance and cultural expression, and physical landscape of Mosuo ethnic twist dance. In the practice of tourism, it is mainly to investigate the “physical” behaviors such as tourists visit, photography and participation in the local residential twist dance. Mosuo people shifted from the “signalization process of the host society by tourists and an unequal force” to “reverse gaze” of “the object being stared by the camera and reflected through the lens” and to “power counterbalance and interactive adaptation”, the connotation of body performance and cultural expression of Muosuo ethnic twist dance changed.
