| Book Description | This collection of new essays explores the many ways in which writing relates to corporeality and how the two work together to create, resist or mark the body of the "Other." Contributors draw on their varied backgrounds to examine different movement practices, with a focus on movement as a meaning-making process-including the choreographic act of writing. The challenges faced by marginalized bodies are discussed, along with ability of a body to question, contest and re-write historical narratives. |
| Editorial Review | Among this collection's 14 contributions--which include essays from artist scholars A'Keitha Carey, Ninotchka Bennahum, and Michael Sakamoto--are essays that use dance forms such as flamenco, tap, dance hall, and postmodern genres to rewrite historical dancing narratives. An informative collection that can be used in composition, criticism and aesthetics, and pedagogy courses, this collection uses historical and cultural frameworks to interrogate the multiplicity of lived experiences. ...recommended--Choice |
