- Choreomania represents a 14-year study of original source material drawing from ancient Greek to late medieval and eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century writings on medicine, anthropology, sociology, crowd psychology, philosophy, religion, and popular journalism, from the European centres of colonial medical history (Berlin, London, Paris) to American, South American (Brazil) and African (Madagascar) sites. An extensive, transnational range of archival sources is consulted across languages, from English and French to German and Latin. The book is 240,000 words; it is the first and only study to account for this phenomenon, and presents a major new argument about corporeal modernity.
