You will analyse a wide range of dance practices in relation to twentieth- and twenty-first-century debates about the politics of the body. You could examine historical and contemporary, popular and ‘high art’, Western and non-Western dance. Body politics includes the role of the body in mass culture, the extent to which the body is controlled by or resistant 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 and the relationship between the body and technology. You will be assessed through an essay or a lecture demonstration.
