Recenzje

O-Ton: »How does PerforMemory engage with ideas such as multidirectional memory and remembering? « - Layla Zami in the interview at the Minor Constellation Podcast on 21.10.2021. »Das Buch von Layla Zami ist eine wertvolle Erweiterung sowie Verbindung tanzwissenschaftlichen Wissens mit kulturellen Forschungen zu Diaspora, Erinnerung und Trauma.« Karina Rocktäschel, www.tanznetz.de, 14.9.2021 »An immense and deeply moving contribution. Zami's unwavering attention to transparency in her approach and the honesty in her writing shines through. This work is rigorous, nuanced, and poetic - reaching beyond the confines of disciplinarity to illuminate the power of bodies in motion to recall, resist, and rewrite.« Cristina Tadeo, The Drama Review, 66/3 (2022)
