Ungoverning Dance by Ramsay Burt

Ungoverning Dance examines recent contemporary dance in continental Europe. Placing this in the context of neoliberalism and austerity, it argues that dancers are developing an ethico-aesthetic approach that uses dance practices as sites of resistance against dominant ideologies. It attests to the persistence of alternative ways of thinking and living.

It provides an overview of some of the most important contemporary philosophical discourses in relation to danceAbove all, it makes an irresistible and convincing claim for the importance of dance as a critical tool. * Dance Research *
