| Abstract | "The Handbook of Dance and Memory invites readers to approach dance memoriography as a vibrant field of knowledge that explores dance studies at the intersection with historiography, memory studies, performance studies, cultural studies, anthropology, and cognitive sciences. This Handbook highlights the potential of dance studies in investigating how memory has been conceptualised and practiced over time in and through dance. Dance memoriography also examines how epistemological tools introduced by critical theory can provide new insights into the functioning of memory-whether embodied, archived or transmitted-and the dynamic interplay between memory and history. In this process, artists and historians collaborate to activate and explore new ways of remembering and participate in shaping cultural memory. The authors gathered in this Handbook come from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and explore the relationship between dance and memory to assess the methodological effectiveness of this approach to dance studies. They examine cases spanning chronologically from the 15th to the 21st century, dispersed across various geographical and national contexts, while also following transcultural and transnational trajectories"-- Provided by publisher. |
