The essays, by scholar-critics of dance and literature, explore dances actual and fictional to offer powerful new insights into issues of gender, race, ethnicity, popular culture, feminist aesthetics, historical \"embodiment,\" identity politics, and narrativity. The general introduction traces the genealogy of dance studies in the academy to suggest why critical and theoretical attention to dance--and dance's challenges to writing--is both compelling and overdue. A milestone in interdisciplinary studies, \u003ci\u003eBodies of the Text\u003c\/i\u003e opens both its fields to new inquiry, new theoretical precision, and to new readers and writers.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Movement Movements\u003cbr\u003e Reading Dance As Text\u003cbr\u003e Reading Dance in Texts\u003cbr\u003e Dance in Theories of Writing\u003cbr\u003e Reading Writing About Dance\u003cbr\u003e Notes on Contributors\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702517166360,"sku":"9780813521275","price":24.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bodies-of-the-text-dance-as-theory-literature-as-dance-paperback-softback-9780813521275","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
