- This book engages with dance as a form of intervention into a politics more commonly articulated in words. Using detailed, cross-cultural and comparative case study examples, from the US to South Africa, the book engages and provokes political theorists and those concerned with performance, embodiment and political activism. It draws together Rancière's concept of dissensus with recent developments in embodied politics, producing a powerful analytic frame through which case studies are explored. Each case references powerful dance 'moments' which readers can explore textually and experience through embedded YouTube clips of each performance, innovatively contributing to debate on political interventions/boundaries.
