Ballerina-pointe shoe becoming, fluid multiplicities, and The Red Shoes

While many published texts focus on pointe shoe history or pointe shoe fetishism, few assess the embodiment phenomenon at hand, or should I say at foot?

Revisiting this classic work, I parse out affective relations and budding multiplicities to suggest a new way of understanding the ballerina's body at large.
