Review: "Between Dancing and Writing: The Practice of Religious Studies seeks to develop the conceptual resources that would enable, within the Western tradition, a serious intellectual discussion of the relation between dance and religion. Kimerer LaMothe, herself an accomplished dancer, confronts dance as the most artfully articulated form of human movement. In this innovative book, she explores the larger question of how to think, in terms of religion, about movement as a phenomenological aspect of human embodiment. LaMothe sets an agenda for an emerging area of scholarship in religious studies - the philosophy of religion and dance."--BOOK JACKET.
