Reading Dancing Zusammenfassung

Reading Dancing: Bodies and Subjects in Contemporary American Dance Susan Leigh Foster

Borrowing from contemporary semiotics and post-structuralist criticism, Foster outlines four models for representation in dance which are illustrated through an analysis of the works of contemporary choreographers and through historical examples beginning with court ballets of the Renaissance.

Reading Dancing Bewertungen

Susan Foster is a new breed of dancer and choreographer. * New York Times *
Foster proposes a context from which the reader might make, see, or write about dance. * CHOICE *
No other dance book had posited an alternative aesthetic and historical framework beyond its own disciplinary content. In advance of the turn to the body in social theory, dance therefore became a major contributor to the rethinking of history advanced by new historicists, and an art form that could be read within the context of history and politics. . . . Although dance studies is a growing field for undergraduate studies, its critical status depends on texts such as Reading Dancing that can be debated more widely. * Times Higher Education *
