Opis

Moving Otherwise offers a fascinating look at how contemporary dance practices in Buenos Aires enacted politics within political and economic violence from the mid-1960s to the mid-2010s. It is the first book on Argentine contemporary dance and it introduces a breadth of choreographers and practices to an English speaking audience.

Recenzje

Victoria Fortuna offers a stirring yet incisive exploration into the world of Argentinian dance under the duress of political violence. A compelling study of moving within and against the restraints of neoliberalism, Moving Otherwise makes a vital contribution to the fields of dance studies and human rights.
