Involuntary Motion contributes to the study of refugee flight by
using movement as a lens to explore problems in refugee performance
and understand the experience of bodies in motion. Drawing from
somatics, movement analysis, and dance praxis, the chapters explore
forces that set bodies in motion; the spaces in which forced
movement occurs; the movement of refugee identity arcs; the
monstrosity of refugee performance; and the relationship between
writing and body culture. How does forced movement impact identity?
What are the philosophical implications of robbing individuals of
agency over motion? What performances does involuntary motion
necessitate? These questions are important as the world confronts
the threat of a return of the horrors of the twentieth century.
Bringing together debates in migration studies and movement
studies, the book argues that refugees are akin to dancers
performing on disappearing stages not of their choosing. It will be
of great interest to students and scholars of performance, dance,
and politics.
