Meaning In Motion: New Cultural Studies Of Dance (Postcontemporary Interventions),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Dance, Whether Considered As An Art Form Or Embodied Social Practice, As Product Or Process, Is A Prime Subject For Cultural Analysis. Yet Only Recently Have Studies Of Dance Become Concerned With The Ideological, Theoretical, And Social Meanings Of Dance Practices, Performances, And Institutions. In Meaning In Motion, Jane C. Desmond Brings Together The Work Of Critics Who Have Ventured Into The Boundaries Between Dance And Cultural Studies, And Thus Maps A Littleknown And Rarely Explored Critical Site.Writing From A Broad Range Of Perspectives, Contributors From Disciplines As Varied As Art History And Anthropology, Dance History And Political Science, Philosophy And Womens Studies Chart The Questions And Challenges That Mark This Site. How Does Dance Enact Or Rework Social Categories Of Identity? How Do Meanings Change As Dance Styles Cross Borders Of Race, Nationality, Or Class? How Do We Talk About Materiality And Motion, Sensation And Expressivity, Kinesthetics And Ideology? The Authors Engage These Issues In A Variety Of Contexts: From Popular Social Dances To The Experimentation Of The Avantgarde; From Nineteenthcentury Ballet And Contemporary Afrobrazilian Carnival Dance To Hip Hop, The Dance Hall, And Film; From The Nationalist Politics Of Folk Dances To The Feminist Philosophies Of Modern Dance. Giving Definition To A New Field Of Study, Meaning In Motion Broadens The Scope Of Dance Analysis And Extends To Cultural Studies New Ways Of Approaching Matters Of Embodiment, Identity, And Representation.Contributors. Ann Cooper Albright, Evan Alderson, Norman Bryson, Cynthia Cohen Bull, Ann Daly, Brenda Dixon Gottschild, Susan Foster, Mark Franko, Marianne Goldberg, Amy Koritz, Susan Kozel, Susan Manning, Randy Martin, Angela Mcrobbie, Kate Ramsey, Anna Scott, Janet Wolff
