Ebook: Performance, Dance and Political Economy: Bodies at the End of the World

What can dance contribute to contemporary political economy and to its critique?
What can current conversations in the field of political economy contribute to conversations on dance and its role within the political economy?
What new insights can the connections between the two fields offer that can help imagine a world beyond the present?
Setting out to engage with all of these questions, this book offers an original investigation into the relation between dance and political economy, looking in particular at the points where politics, economics and culture intersect.
Arising from live conversations and exchanges, this book has been informed by contributions from leaders in the fields in dialogue with one another, including:
