Moving Bodies, Navigating Conflict is a groundbreaking ethnographic
examination of dance practice in Colombo, Sri Lanka, during the
civil war (1983-2009). It is the first book of scholarship on
bharata natyam (a classical dance originating in India) in Sri
Lanka, and the first on the role of dance in the country's war.
Focusing on women dancers, Ahalya Satkunaratnam shows how they
navigated conditions of conflict and a neoliberal, global economy,
resisted nationalism and militarism, and advocated for peace. Her
interdisciplinary methodology combines historical analysis, methods
of dance studies, and dance ethnography.
