520 |a Bringing together dance and science, two paradigms that explore the nature and possibilities of the body, this volume illuminates the meanings and articulations of dance in nineteenth-century societies. This global collection of studies reveals how the two fields informed each other's development and engaged with dominant European worldviews in a time of unprecedented colonial expansion. The chapters in Dance and Science in the Long Nineteenth Century examine how trends and developments in the performing arts reflected scientific thinking of this era, including the categorization of "types" of bodies and the ranking of cultural and religious beliefs, as well as how dance served as an active site of inquiry where the workings and limits of the human body could be studied. Researchers discuss topics including the influence of plant biology on the aesthetics of ballet, technological advancements in the staging and recording of performances, arguments for the use of Eurhythmics in promoting a stronger "race" and European fascination with Indian dance and yoga. Featuring response essays that put leading scholars in conversation with one another and offer new perspectives, this volume is unique for its geographic scope and its discussion of diverse bodies, cultures, themes and scientific disciplines. It sheds light on a historical interplay that has shaped many of today's political and cultural realities.
