Embodied Expressions of Displacement and Transformation

In a world increasingly marked by movement and displacement, the body becomes a repository of experiences and a site of cultural exchange. Dance and Corporeality in Times of Travel and Migration explores the profound impact of travel and migration on dance and corporeality. This groundbreaking book brings together a diverse range of scholars and practitioners to examine how movement embodies the experiences of displacement, identity formation, and cultural exchange.

Bridging Disciplinary Boundaries

Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including dance studies, cultural studies, anthropology, and sociology, this book offers a cross-disciplinary exploration of the complex relationship between dance, travel, and migration. It challenges traditional notions of dance as a bounded and localized practice and instead reveals the ways in which dance is inherently connected to global movements of people and ideas.

Featured Themes and Case Studies

The book examines a variety of themes related to dance and migration, including:

• The embodied experiences of displacement and diaspora
• The role of dance in cultural exchange and identity formation
• The transformative power of movement in migration journeys
• The politics of representation and the aesthetics of difference

Through case studies from across the globe, the book explores the diverse ways in which dance and corporeality are shaped by migration experiences. From the flamenco dancers of Spain to the Bollywood dancers of India, the book showcases the myriad ways in which dance embodies the complexities of travel and displacement.
