This major new book by Helen Thomas makes the connections between burgeoning interest in the body in social and cultural analysis and a variety of dance forms and practices. It uses dance as a means of reflecting on the possibilities and limitations associated with the ways in which the body has been conceptualized in social and cultural theory. At the same time, the book offers a rich resource in case material.
The book begins by discussing the problem of the body in social and cultural theory, providing a lucid and succinct overview of the important thematic concerns that have dominated thinking about the body and drawing on the perspectives of feminism, semiotics, poststructuralism, and postmodernism. It them moves, via a discussion of ethnography as an embodied research methodology, to its second part, which focuses on the dancing body. Here a close reading of dance forms, content, traditions and bodily regimes -- from classical ballet to rave cultures -- reveals how dance offers cultural and social criticism a rich and relatively uncharted terrain for studying and conceptualizing expressive bodies.
