About the Book

Global Movements: Dance, Place, and Hybridity provides a theoretical and practical examination of the relationships between the global mobility of ideas and people, and its impact on dance and space. Using seven case studies, the contributors illustrate the mixture of dance styles that result from the global diffusion of cultural traditions and practices. The collection portrays a multitude of ways in which public and private spaces—stages, buildings, town squares as well as natural environments—are transformed and made meaningful by culturally diverse dances. Global Movements will be of interest to scholars of geography, dance, and global issues.

Review :
This book underscores the fact that dance is a geography and geography is a dance. By cross-pollinating the two disciplines, the authors produce a third wondrous hybrid. Their book is compulsory reading for all those who want to understand the place of dance. We all know globalization is a process of cultural amalgamation, but what does this imply at the level of bodies? This book breaks new ground in both dance/performance studies and cultural geography by asking how the global and the (inter)national are danced. Clearly, dancing is not only an eruption of sensual pleasure but condenses some of the most important sociopolitical processes at work in today’s world. Brimming with engaging ethnographic insight, Global Movements offers a series of sure-footed and lively explorations of the charged zone between identity, geography, and dance. It is essential reading for anyone interested in thinking critically about what is at stake when the cultural and the corporeal are choreographed through the spaces of moving bodies.
