Dance plays an important role in many religious traditions, in
rites of passage, processions, healing rituals or festivals. But it
is also controversial, especially in Christianity. Colonial
European Christian discourses tend to separate dance from
religion(s) and spirituality. This volume explores dance as Third
Space, following Homi Bhabha's postcolonial metaphor. The
Inter-Dance approach combines interdisciplinary theoretical
considerations with case studies. International experts examine
dance controversies and discourses from the early church to World
Christianity, as well as in Hasidic Judaism, Greek mysteries,
Islamic Sufism, West African Togolese religions, and Afro-Brazilian
Umbanda. Christian dance theologies are unfolded and the
boundary-crossing potential of dance in interreligious and
intercultural encounters is explored. The volume breaks new ground
in how dance as ephemeral performative art, embodied thought and
gendered discourse can transform studies of religion.
