Moving through Conflict: Dance and Politics in Israel is a
pioneering project in examining the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
through dance. It proposes a research framework for study of the
social, cultural, aesthetic and political dynamics between Jews and
Arabs as reflected in dance from late 19th-century Palestine to
present-day Israel. Drawing on multiple disciplines, this book
examines a variety of social and theatrical venues (communities,
dance groups, evening classes and staged performances), dance
genres (folk dancing, social dancing and theatrical dancing) and
different cultural identities (Israeli, Palestinian and American).
Underlying this work is a fundamental question: can the body and
dance operate as nonverbal autonomous agents to mediate change in
conflicting settings, transforming the "foreign" into the
"familiar"? Or are they bound to their culturally dependent
significance - and thus nothing more than additional sites of an
embodied politics? This anthology expounds on various studies on
dance, historical periods, points of view and points of contact
that help promote thinking about this fundamental issue. It will be
of great interest to students and scholars of dance studies,
sociology, anthropology, art history, education and cultural
studies, as well as conflict and resolution studies.
