Jose Luis Reynoso: Dancing Mestizo Modernisms, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Relying on extensive archival research, choreography as an analytical methodology, and theories of race, dance, and performance studies, this book examines how dance and other forms of embodiment participated in Mexico's formation after the Mexican War of Independence (1821-1876), the Porfirian dictatorship (1876-1911), and postrevolutionary Mexico (1919-1940). Author Jose Reynoso analyzes how underlying colonial logics continued to influence relationships amongst dancers, other artists, government officials, critics, and audiences of different backgrounds as they refashioned their racial, social, cultural, and national identities.
