Call for Papers: Geographies of Dance

Book Proposal Call for Chapters Geographies of Dance

Geographic research on dance has proliferated over the past decade. Recent dance scholarship has examined dance as it relates to cultural hybridity, cultural domination, performativity, ethnicity, consumption, mobility and the tensions between “tradition” and “authenticity”. The inherent connections between dance and other disciplines such as performance studies and cultural studies make it a uniquely interdisciplinary object of inquiry, one in which geography is beginning to play a key role. In this edited collection we seek to advance this project and situate dance within contemporary debates in geography. Thus we welcome manuscripts that examine “geographies of dance” as they relate to issues such as transnationalism, citizenship, governmentality, feminist theory, queer theory, scale, mobility, ethnicity, and marginalization.
