Corporeal Politics: Dancing East Asia de Katherine Mezur

Corporeal Politics: Dancing East Asia: Studies in Dance: Theories and Practices

Editat de Katherine Mezur, Emily Wilcox
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 sep 2020
In Corporeal Politics, leading international scholars investigate the development of dance as a deeply meaningful and complex cultural practice across time, placing special focus on the intertwining of East Asia dance and politics and the role of dance as a medium of transcultural interaction and communication across borders. Countering common narratives of dance history that emphasize the US and Europe as centers of origin and innovation, the expansive creativity of dance artists in East Asia asserts its importance as a site of critical theorization and reflection on global artistic developments in the performing arts.

Through the lens of “corporeal politics”—the close attention to bodily acts in specific cultural contexts—each study in this book challenges existing dance and theater histories to re-investigate the performer's role in devising the politics and aesthetics of their performance, as well as the multidimensional impact of their lives and artistic works. Corporeal Politics addresses a wide range of performance styles and genres, including dances produced for the concert stage, as well as those presented in popular entertainments, private performance spaces, and street protests.

Recenzii

"While all the analyzes gathered in it comprehend inner and trans-Asian logics and temporal structuring, this collective project makes a relevant contribution to deepening the field of East Asian dance research, which is to be understood as part of global dance research...In its cross-regional claim, which the book generously reproduces as a dialogue of different characters, periods and genres, it offers the reader parallels and insights into happily unexpected encounters." - rezens.tfm

"A deft and uncluttered collection of diverse regional views of East Asia through the deployment of scholarly writing that is clear, concise, and directive." —Dance Research Journal

"Corporeal Politics: Dancing East Asia adds great insight and stokes the growing interest in dance in this region. For those interested in dance and East Asian studies, this book is an especially welcome arrival. Captivating and theoretically useful, the chapters correct the lens through which East Asian dance artists and their choreographies have been viewed while bringing attention to current power dynamics and issues that artists today are facing." - Choreographic Practices

"Composed of sixteen chapters contained by an introduction and a coda, this anthology emerges from the growing field of East Asian dance research, a previously underrepresented area in Anglophone academia... Drawing both from critical area studies (East Asia) and critical dance studies, Corporeal Politics stresses the politics of East Asian dance." - Dance Chronicle

"Essential."
—CHOICE

"Rather than only offering a linear perspective, the book paves a diverse path for readers to approach East Asian dance performances with a wide-angle lens. ...Overall, Corporeal Politics: Dancing East Asia propels many future conversations and concepts that intersect between East Asia and the West."
—Asian Theatre Journal

"The essays in Corporeal Politics are doing important work by "challenging common patterns of thinking and understanding of dance practices in and from East Asia" (331). More importantly, but troubling the generally accepted historical narrative of critical dance studies it is opening new avenues and introducing new methodologies for future research into dance in and from East Asia."
--Inter-Asia Studies
"Corporeal Politics breaks new ground in East Asian Dance Studies through its dual contribution to Dance Studies and East Asian Studies. It should be read by anyone interested in dance history, the East Asian region, its rich transregional and transnational cultural histories, and the politics of dance in East Asia and throughout the world."
--International Quarterly for Asian Studies
