In this module, you will analyse a wide range of dance practices: historical and contemporary, popular and ‘high art’, Western and non-Western. You will consider these in relation to 20th and 21st-century debates about the politics of the body, for example: the role of the body in mass culture; the extent to which the body is controlled by or resistance to the state; the role of the body in colonisation and decolonisation; the role of the body in negotiating local, national and global identities; the role of the body in constructing sexual and gender identities; the relationship between the body and technology.
