Assembling these essays from international, sometimes untranslated sources and curating their relationship to a rapidly changing field, this Reader offers an important resource in the dynamic scholarly fields of Dance and Performance Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this volume especially appropriate for undergraduate and graduate teaching is its critical focus on twentieth- and twenty-first-century dance artists and choreographers. Among these are Oskar Schlemmer, Merce Cunningham, Kazuo Ohno, William Forsythe, Bill T. Jones, and Pina Bausch, some of the most high-profile European, American, and Japanese artists of the past century. The volume’s constellation of topics delves into controversies that are essential turning points in the field (notably, \u003ci\u003eStill\/Here\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eParis is Burning\u003c\/i\u003e), which illuminate the spine of the field while interlinking dance scholarship with performance theory, film, visual, and public art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume contains the first critical assessments of Franko’s contribution to the field by André Lepecki and Gay Morris, and an interview incorporating a biographical dimension to the development of Franko’s work and its relation to his dance and choreography. Ultimately, this Reader encourages a wide scope of conversation and engagement, opening up core questions in ethics, embodiment, and performativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605226799340,"sku":"9780815378969","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780815378969-choreographing-discourses.jpg?v=1778127137","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/choreographing-discourses-by-mark-franko-9780815378969","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
