Bringing together a diverse chorus of voices and experiences in the
pursuit of collective bodily, emotional, and spiritual liberation,
Practicing Yoga as Resistance examines yoga as it is experienced
across the Western cultural landscape through an intersectional,
feminist lens. Naming the systems of oppression that permeate our
lived experiences, this collection and its contributors shine a
light on the ways yoga practice is intertwined with these systems
while offering insight into how people challenge and creatively
subvert, mitigate, and reframe them through their efforts. From the
disciplines of yoga studies, embodiment studies, women's and gender
studies, performance studies, educational studies, social sciences,
and social justice, the self-identified women, queer, BIPOC, and
White allies represented in this book present an interdisciplinary
tapestry of scholarship that serves to add depth to a growing
assemblage of yoga literature for the 21st century.
Dance and film have shared a dynamic relationship since the advent
of cinema-a natural interplay that developed into the genre known
as screendance. Charting the history of screendance festivals, this
book examines important shifts in practice and theory, distinct
festival eras and communities, and the process of selecting and
programming works.
