Assembling these essays from international, sometimes untranslated sources and curating their relationship to a rapidly changing field, this Reader offers an important resource in the dynamic scholarly fields of Dance and Performance Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this volume especially appropriate for undergraduate and graduate teaching is its critical focus on twentieth- and twenty-first-century dance artists and choreographers - among these, Oskar Schlemmer, Merce Cunningham, Kazuo Ohno, William Forsythe, Bill T. Jones, and Pina Bausch, some of the most high-profile European, American, and Japanese artists of the past century. The volume's constellation of topics delves into controversies that are essential turning points in the field (notably, \u003ci\u003eStill\/Here\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParis is Burning\u003c\/i\u003e), which illuminate the spine of the field while interlinking dance scholarship with performance theory, film, visual, and public art.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume contains the first critical assessments of Franko's contribution to the field by André Lepecki and Gay Morris, and an interview incorporating a biographical dimension to the development of Franko's work and its relation to his dance and choreography. Ultimately, this Reader encourages a wide scope of conversation and engagement, opening up core questions in ethics, embodiment, and performativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54418759713041,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-choreographing-discourses-by-mark-franko","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
