This book focuses on the myriad ways that people collectively
remember or forget shared pasts through popular dance. In dance
classes, nightclubs, family celebrations, tourist performances, on
television, film, music video and the internet, cultural memories
are shared and transformed by dancing bodies adapting yesterday's
steps to today's concerns. The book gathers emerging and seasoned
scholarly voices from a wide range of geographical and disciplinary
perspectives to discuss cultural remembering and forgetting in
diverse popular dance contexts. The contributors ask: how are
Afro-diasporic memories invoked in popular dance classes? How are
popular dance genealogies manipulated and reclaimed? What is at
stake for the nation in the nationalizing of folk and popular
dances? And how does mediated dancing transmit memory as feelings
or affects? The book reveals popular dance to be vital to cultural
processes of remembering and forgetting, allowing participants to
pivot between alternative pasts, presents and futures.
