The body in culture : before the body project -- The body in culture : the body project -- Ethnography dances back -- The body in dance -- Reconstructing the dance : in search of authenticity? -- Dance and difference : performing/representing/rewriting the body -- Dancing the night away : rave/club culture.
Summary: "This book takes its point of departure from the overwhelming interest in theories of the body and performativity in sociology and cultural studies in recent years. It explores a variety of ways of looking at dance as a social and artistic (bodily) practice as a means of generating insights into the politics of identity and difference as they are situated and traced through representations of the body and bodily practices. These issues are addressed through a series of case studies."--Publisher description.
