Yet those foundationsevident in expressive qualities like call and response, the aural kinesthetic, the imperative to be original, and moreare essential to cyphering''s enduring presence on the global stage. What can cyphers activate beyond the spectacle? What lessons do cyphers offer about moving through and navigating the social world? And what possibilities for the future do they animate? With an interdisciplinary reach and a riff on physics, author Imani Kai Johnson centers the voices of practitioners in a study of breaking events in cities across the US, Canada, and parts of Europe.Dark Matter in Breaking Cyphers: the Life of Africanist Aesthetics in Global Hip Hop draws on over a decade of research and provides a detailed look into the vitality of Africanist aesthetics and the epistemological possibilities of the ritual circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn critically celebrating the immeasurable mass of hip-hop dance, Imani Kai Johnson significantly advances the thought and practice of Blackness as global field and global force.

For centuries, people learned this narrative by watching, listening, and participating in enactments of it. Although the Ramayana''s first extant telling in Sanskrit dates back to ancient times, the story has continued to be retold and rethought through the centuries in many of India''s regional languages, such as Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali. The narrative has provided the basis for enactments of its episodes in recitation, musical renditions, dance, and avant-garde performances. This volume introduces non-specialists to the Ramayana''s major themes and complexities, as well as to the highly nuanced terms in Indian languages used to represent theater and performance.Two introductions orient readers to the history of Ramayana texts by Tulsidas, Valmiki, Kamban, Sankaradeva, and others, as well as to the dramaturgy and aesthetics of their enactments. The contributed essays provide context-specific analyses of diverse Ramayana performance traditions and the narratives from which they draw. The essays are clustered around the shared themes of the politics of caste and gender; the representation of the anti-hero; contemporary re-interpretations of traditional narratives; and the presence of Ramayana discourse in daily life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichman and Bharucha's collaboration on this volume of edited essays represents simultaneously a culmination of these research directions, and a corrective, steering towards a more balanced representation beyond the more extensively studied Sanskrit and Hindi Ramayanas...Apart from the masterful introductions and conclusion, there are several further features that render this reader friendly volume perfect for teaching. The inclusion of translations of several dramas makes scripts available for students to perform or draw inspiration from for creative writing. The parts on caste and gender are important for integrating diversity into the curriculum. * Reading Religion *\u003cbr\u003ePaula Richman and Rustom Bharucha are the perfect combination to explore the ideas that are brought together [in this book] -- Richman with her vast and varied knowledge of the many Ramayana stories that dot the sub-continent and beyond, and Bharucha, with his lifelong commitment to dramaturgy and the diverse performance traditions that animate some of our best known and most loved stories ...

This illustrated compendium offers the student, teacher, choreographer, historian, media critic, ethnographer, and general reader an overview of the evolution and social and religious significance of folk dance.The Encyclopedia of World Folk Dance focuses on the uniqueness of kinetic performance and its contribution to the study and appreciation of rhythmic expression around the globe. Following a chronology of momentous events dating from prehistory to the present day, the entries in this volume include material on technical terms, character roles, and specific dances. The entries also summarize the historical and ethnic milieu of each style and execution, highlighting, among other elements, such features as:originspurposerituals and traditionspropsdressholidaysthemes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis encyclopedia must have been a challenge for prolific compiler Snodgrass, covering as it does such an expansive topic—folk dance worldwide from all time periods. Each entry, however, offers sufficient detail to serve as an good introduction for students and more advanced researchers. One of the best features of the work is the explanation of terms used to describe individual dance practices, customs, and change over time; there is also a separate, helpful glossary of terms. An illustrative example would be the polka, also known by the Polish krakowiak. The author provides historical perspective on this dance and how it varies in different periods and parts of the world (e.g., its Scandinavian version gammeldans). Each entry has the source of the information listed, often derived from primary resources. The bibliography includes both primary works and secondary books and articles, and there is an appendix of state and national dances. The author provides a chronology covering 5000 BC to 2016—an interesting feature, but lacking sufficient detail for most research needs. The work's exhaustive index, on the other hand, is especially important for interrelating topics (e.g., under ‘Jewish dance,’ one can find the two-page main entry bolded, with multiple mentions in other entries and pointers to five unique Jewish subgroups). Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eSnodgrass examines 'the placement of folk dances within world history' in this useful reference. Each entry cites its source(s) at the end. Some summaries place folk dance within a subject, as in 'Art, Folk Dance In' or 'Film, Folk Dance In.' Examples of dances mentioned include the czardas, the mazurka, the polonaise, the Highland fling, and the hula as well as Native American dances such as the sun dance and the ghost dance. There are general entries ('Greek Dance'; 'Jewish Dance'), along with more intriguing ones (e.g., 'Dragon Dance'; 'Parasol Dance'). Rituals—coming-of-age, nuptials—are covered as well. Shamanic dance, worship dance, and sacrificial dance give yet additional perspectives on movement as ceremony. This resource is noteworthy for its interweaving of dances with information on their respective countries\/cultures and their purposes and meanings. Students doing reports will benefit from the helpful bibliography, which separates primary and secondary sources, and from the glossary and chronology. Color and black-and-white photographs provide examples. Often one has to research a country to find out more about its traditions, but this book offers an overview that is subject specific, making it a strong option for those seeking folk dance materials. Verdict: An excellent introduction for anyone looking for information on world folk dance and its terminology. * Library Journal *\u003cbr\u003eThe Encyclopedia of World Folk Dance spans the globe to provide a comprehensive, single-source exploration of multiple aspects of folk dance. . . .Overall, the encyclopedia is a user-friendly resource. . . .A notable strength of this resource is its global perspective; folk dances from around the world are considered in terms of their relationships to each other. This informative, well-researched encyclopedia will meet the needs of students, teachers, and historians and would be a welcome addition to academic or large public libraries. * American Reference Books Annual *\u003cbr\u003eThe encyclopaedia begins with a chronology, before 347 pages on an alphabetical series of subjects ranging from nationalities to dance form (e.g. veiled dance, clogging or branle), taking in other topics as wide-ranging as censorship and ceilidhs. A brief appendix lists national and state dances, alphabetically by dance rather than by nation. This is followed by a four-page glossary of necessary terms that might be unfamiliar to the average enquirer, such as ‘bel canto’ – a singing style – or the act of ‘reverence’ made to spectators at the end of certain dances. There is an eight-page bibliography divided into primary and secondary sources: books, journals and electronic sources; the vast majority of the secondary sources were published in the past 15 years. A very detailed index finishes off the book. Additionally, the book is well-supplied with both black and white and eye-catching colour illustrations…. The book is undoubtedly of value. * s *","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083971928407,"sku":"9781442257481","price":94.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442257481.jpg?v=1725550621"},{"product_id":"the-ancient-english-morris-dance-9781803273860","title":"The Ancient English Morris Dance","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe idea that morris dancing captures the essence of ancient Englishness, inherently carefree and merry, has been present for over 400 years. \u003ci\u003eThe Ancient English Morris Dance\u003c\/i\u003e traces the history of those attitudes, from the dance's introduction to England in the fifteenth century, through the contention of the Reformation and Civil War, during which morris dancing and maypoles became potent symbols of the older ways of living.

Tomko,University of California, Riverside\u003cbr\u003eRichly informative, conceptually exciting, and strikingly original. Walkowitz narrates the stories of compelling characters in the history of English Country Dance, particularly Cecil Sharp and the various figures, mostly women, with whom he dances through the complexities of organizing a movement in two countries. Walkowitz follows this story up to the present, combining analytic, ethnographic, and autobiographical reflections on the recent and contemporary folk dance scene. His authorial stance permits him to engage major questions about modern society, the middle class, and the role culture and cultures play in how people negotiate structural change over time. City Folk will be of interest to a diverse readership that stretches from general readers interested in folk dance and dancers and modern cultural history more broadly, to academic readers in fields including folklore, anthropology, performance, cultural studies, social history, and transatlantic perspectives. -- Michael Frisch,University at Buffalo, State University of New York\u003cbr\u003eWalkowitz brings the joy of a dancer together with the analytical acuity of a scholar to create a fascinating picture of how English Country Dance reflected the shifting terrain of twentieth-century liberalism.

Little known outside the Argentinian pampas, the malambo is a centuries-old gaucho dance, governed by the most rigid rules and shatteringly physically demanding. It is the object of obsession for thousands of young working-class men, who sacrifice their spare time, their bodies and what little money they have to try to win the title of Malambo Champion. The twist is that a Malambo Champion may never compete again.  In 2011, Leila Guerriero travelled to Laborde for what was supposed to be a brief investigation into this intriguing contest. But on the second night, one dancer's towering performance takes her breath away - he doesn't win, but Guerriero, irresistibly drawn, spends the next year following him in his preparations for the 2012 festival. In this remarkable work of reportage Guerriero proves herself to be as sharp-eyed as Gay Talese, as lyrical as Norman Mailer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn epic of noble proportions...

Professional female performers were courtesans and dancing girls who lived beyond the confines of marriage, but were often powerful figures in social and cultural life. Women's roles were often also taken by boys and men, some of whom were simply female impersonators, others transgender.  Since the late nineteenth century the status, livelihood and identity of these performers have all diminished, with the result that many of them have become involved in sexual transactions and sexualised performances. Meanwhile, upper-class, upper-caste women have taken control of the classical performing arts and also entered the film industry, while a Bollywood dance and fitness craze has recently swept middle class India.  In her historical on-the-ground study, Anna Morcom investigates the emergence of illicit worlds of dance in the shadow of India's official performing arts. She explores over a century of marginalisation of courtesans, dancing girls, bar girls and transgender performers, and de- scribes their lives as they struggle with stigmatisation, derision and loss of livelihood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Anna Morcom's extraordinarily compelling book represents one of the most significant interventions in the study of dance in contemporary South Asia.

Silverstein shows how people imagine the Syrian nation through dabke, how the state has coopted it, how performances of masculinity revealand play withthe tensions and complexities of the broader social imaginary, how forces opposed to the state have used it resistively, and how migrants and refugees have reimagined it in their new homes in Europe and the United States. She offers deeply thoughtful reflections on the ethnographer''s ethical and political dilemmas on fieldwork in an authoritarian state. Silverstein''s study ultimately questions the limits of authoritarian power, considering the pleasure and play intrinsic to dabke circles as evidence for how performance cultures sustain social life and solidify group bonds while reproducing the societal divides endemic to Syrian authoritarianism.","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49527987634519,"sku":"9780819501035","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780819501035.jpg?v=1731869971"},{"product_id":"mormon-pioneer-dances-31-authentic-dances-of-the-early-saints-with-dvd-9781462120499","title":"Mormon Pioneer Dances 31 Authentic Dances of the","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cfi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49530275168599,"sku":"9781462120499","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"diverging-ontologies-in-music-for-dancing-european-voices-v-9783205217640","title":"Diverging Ontologies in Music for Dancing:","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bohlau Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49537405092183,"sku":"9783205217640","price":91.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783205217640.jpg?v=1731906794"},{"product_id":"el-baile-flamenco-una-aproximacion-historica-9788488586155","title":"El Baile Flamenco: Una Aproximacion Historica","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Almuzara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49544198521175,"sku":"9788488586155","price":16.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"femininity-and-dance-in-egypt-embodiment-and-meaning-in-al-raqs-al-baladi-cairo-papers-in-social-science-vol-32-no-3-9789774165931","title":"Femininity and Dance in Egypt: Embodiment and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsidering the paradoxical position of al-raqs al-baladi or “belly dance” in Egyptian social life, as both a vibrant and a contested cultural form, this issue of Cairo Papers in Social Science considers the impact of wider socio-cultural and political forces on the marginalization of professional performers, on the one hand, and in defining the parameters for non-professional performances on the other hand.

The editors posit that funny moves are dance''s Other--the missteps or oversteps that don''t fit a particular dance form. Funniness in dance, whether gleeful, surprising, or odd, causes disruptions which may be progressive or conservative, inciting pleasures that counterbalance the artform''s often serious codes.Writing from Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia, Europe, and the United States, the book''s ten authors provide diverse observational techniques and creative vocabularies for finding, analyzing, and theorizing funny moves across dance forms, dance scenes, and dance screens. Some of the authors find hope in the laughter of their artist subjects and their audiences, and some linger in the ambiguity and confusion so created. Each essay takes on a single surprise factor or a choreographic comic rupture, relishing in the amassed effects or affects across an absurdist cinematic, staged, or quotidian sequence. What is funny in each case pops up as a wildcard that evokes recognizable shared experiences, sometimes pushing back against dominant or mainstream logic and its supremacist laughter.","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036447637847,"sku":"9780197765777","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197765777.jpg?v=1750932102"},{"product_id":"ring-of-liberation-deceptive-discourse-in-brazilian-capoeira-9780226476827","title":"Ring of Liberation Deceptive Discourse in","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on eighteen months of intensive participant-observation, Ring of Liberation offers both an in-depth description of capoeira--a complex Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines feats of great strength and athleticism with music and poetry--and a pioneering synthetic approach to the analysis of complex cultural performance. Capoeira originated in early slave culture and is practiced widely today by urban Brazilians and others. At once game, sport, mock combat, and ritualized performance, it involves two players who dance and battle within a ring of musicians and singers. Stunning physical performances combine with music and poetry in a form as expressive in movement as it is in word. J. Lowell Lewis explores the convergence of form and content in capoeira. The many components and characteristics of this elaborate black art form--for example, competing genre frameworks and the necessary fusion of multiple modes of expression--demand, Lewis feels, to be given body as well as voice.In response, he uses Peircean semiotics and recent work in discourse and performance theory to map the connections between physical, musical, and linguistic play in capoeira and to reflect on the general relations between semiotic systems and the creation and recording of cultural meaning.","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036546990423,"sku":"9780226476827","price":76.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226476827.jpg?v=1791454793"},{"product_id":"shaping-society-through-dance-mestizo-ritual-performance-in-the-peruvian-andes-cd-chicago-studies-in-ethnomusicology-cse-9780226520087","title":"Shaping Society Through Dance  Mestizo Ritual","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the patron saint fiesta in the town of San Jeronimo, Peru, crowds gather at sunset awaiting the entrance of the colourful dance troupes, or comparsas.
