Wars in this century are radically different from the major
conflicts of the 20th century-more amorphous, asymmetrical,
globally connected, and unending. Choreographies of 21st Century
Wars is the first book to analyze the interface between
choreography and wars in this century, a pertinent inquiry since
choreography has long been linked to war and military training. The
book draws on recent political theory that posits shifts in the
kinds of wars occurring since the First and Second World Wars and
the Cold War, all of which were wars between major world powers.
Given the dominance of today's more indeterminate, asymmetrical,
less decisive wars, we ask if choreography, as an organizing
structure and knowledge system, might not also need revision in
order to reflect on, and intercede in, a globalized world of
continuous warfare. In an introduction and sixteen chapters,
authors from a number of disciplines investigate how choreography
and war in this century impinge on each other. Choreographers write
of how they have related to contemporary war in specific works,
while other contributors investigate the interconnections between
war and choreography through theatrical works, dances, military
rituals and drills, the choreography of video war games and
television shows. Issues investigated include torture and terror,
the status of war refugees, concerns surrounding fighting and
peacekeeping soldiers, national identity tied to military training,
and more. The anthology is of interest to scholars in dance,
performance, theater, and cultural studies, as well as the social
sciences.
