"Fields in Motion: Ethnography in the Worlds of Dance" examines
the deeper meanings and resonances of artistic dance in
contemporary culture. The book comprises four sections: methods and
methodologies, autoethnography, pedagogies and creative processes,
and choreographies as cultural and spiritual representations. The
contributors bring an insiders insight to their accounts of the
nature and function of these artistic practices, giving voice to
dancers, dance teachers, creators, programmers, spectators,
students, and scholars.
International and intergenerational, this collection of
groundbreaking scholarly research points to a new direction for
both dance studies and dance anthropology. Traditionally the
exclusive domain of aesthetic philosophers, the art of dance is
here reframed as cultural practice, and its significance is
revealed through a chorus of voices from practitioners and insider
ethnographers.
