The Shapes of Change: Images of American Dance
ISBN: 9780520042124 / Angielski / Miękka / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "What is strikingly new about Miss Siegel's achievement is that she goes beyond the usual kind of historical reassessment. . . . She performs on behalf of this most evanescent of the arts an act of significant recovery. By tracking down--often in rare stage revivals, on film or on videotape--as many of the works by major creators of the last half century as survive, and by describing them . . . in a manner that combines accuracy and imagination, she has enriched our knowledge of the past and added immeasurably, to our resent stock of critical resources."--Dale Harris, New York Times Book...

ISBN: 9780714653549 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Writing in Motion: Body--Language--Technology
ISBN: 9780819566140 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kenneth King is one of America's most inventive postmodern choreographers.

Langer, Edmund Husserl and Friedrich Nietzsche. Since the 1960s, he has performed his dance to texts both spoken and prerecorded--texts intended to stand separately as literary works. Writing in...

Meaning in Motion: New Cultural Studies of Dance
ISBN: 9780822319368 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dance, whether considered as an art form or embodied social practice, as product or process, is a prime subject for cultural analysis. Yet only recently have studies of dance become concerned with the ideological, theoretical, and social meanings of dance practices, performances, and institutions. In "Meaning in Motion," Jane C. Desmond brings together the work of critics who have ventured into the boundaries between dance and cultural studies, and thus maps a little-known and rarely explored critical site.
Writing from a broad range of perspectives, contributors from disciplines as varied... Dance, whether considered as an art form or embodied social practice, as product or process, is a prime subject for cultural analysis. Yet only recent...
