The relationship between religion and dance is as old as humankind.
Contemporary methods for studying this relationship date back a
century. The difference between these two time frames is
significant: scholars are still developing theories and methods
capable of illuminating this vast history that take account of
their limited place within it. A History of Theory and Method in
the Study of Religion and Dance takes on a primary challenge of
doing so: overcoming a conceptual dichotomy between "religion" and
"dance" forged in the colonial era that justified western Christian
hostility towards dance traditions across six continents over six
centuries. Beginning with its enlightenment roots, LaMothe narrates
a selective history of this dichotomy, revealing its ongoing work
in separating dance studies from religious studies. Turning to the
Bushmen of the African Kalahari, LaMothe introduces an ecokinetic
approach that provides scholars with conceptual resources for
mapping the generative interdependence of phenomena that appear as
"dance" and/or "religion."
