Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture : Connections in Motion, Paperback / softback Book

Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture : Connections in Motion Paperback / softback

Edited by Sabine Egger, Catherine E. Foley, Margaret Mills Harper

Paperback / softback

Description

A collection of scholarly articles and essays by dancers and scholars of ethnochoreology, dance studies, drama studies, cultural studies, literature, and architecture, Dance and Modernism in Irish and German Literature and Culture: Connections in Motion explores Irish-German connections through dance in choreographic processes and on stage, in literary texts, dance documentation, film, and architecture from the 1920s to today.

The contributors discuss modernism, with a specific focus on modern dance, and its impact on different art forms and discourses in Irish and German culture.

Within this framework, dance is regarded both as a motif and a specific form of spatial movement, which allows for the transgression of medial and disciplinary boundaries as well as gender, social, or cultural differences.

Part 1 of the collection focuses on Irish-German cultural connections made through dance, while part 2 studies the role of dance in Irish and German literature, visual art, and architecture.
