| Summary, etc |
"Of the Presence of the Body gathers nine original essays by eminent scholars in the fields of dance and performance studies. The book's focus is the historical, cultural, and political contexts that inform choreographic and dance practices and critical readings of dance - in other words, how dance operates as critical discourse. The question that runs throughout the essays is the theoretical and political problem of "how dances come to be seen," or how the presence of the body leaves its mark on critical theories and performances.<br/>Focusing exclusively on twentieth-century dance, the interdisciplinary perspectives range from history to race studies, deconstruction, Marxist theory, feminist theory, literary studies, and feminist ethnography. The anthology provides an overview of the current methodologies and theoretical developments in the field of dance studies. These essays expand our understanding of performing and dancing bodies by addressing, through various methodologies, the central problem in dance studies: the ideological and political dynamics of seeing, remembering, and writing. This approach makes the collection useful for classes in dance criticism and theory, cultural theory, performance studies, visual culture, and aesthetics."-- Publisher's description. |
