Description: A major theoretical work by Brazilian dance scholar Christine Greiner explores the political relevance of bodily arts in the age of neoliberal globalization
Review Quotes: "Compact with references to authors from Agamben to Prigogine, from Bataille to Viveiros de Castro; from Susan Sontag to Francisco Varela, this translation comes at a particularly pressing time, when social, political, and aesthetic forces combine to relaunch the question: what can a body do . . . The book will make an immense contribution to dance studies and to performance studies, and, given the current boom of interest in dance and choreography, to the visual arts, philosophy of art, museum studies, curatorial studies, and related fields."
