Dance is often regarded as a feminine activity, and men who dance are frequently stereotyped as suspect, gay, or somehow unnatural. But what really happens when men dance? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003eWhen Men Dance\u003c\/em\u003e offers a progressive vision that boldly articulates double-standards in gender construction within dance and brings hidden histories to light in a globalized debate. A first of its kind, this trenchant look at the stereotypes and realities of male dancing brings together contributions from leading and rising scholars of dance from around the world to explore what happens when men dance. The dancing male body emerges in its many contexts, from the ballet, modern, and popular dance worlds to stages in Georgian and Victorian England, Weimar Germany, India and the Middle East. The men who dance and those who analyze them tell stories that will be both familiar and surprising for insiders and outsiders alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJennifer Fisher\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Dance, University of California - Irvine, and author of \u003cem\u003eNutcracker Nation: How an Old World Ballet Became a Christmas Tradition in the New World\u003c\/em\u003e (2003). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnthony Shay\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of Dance and Cultural Studies at Pomona College and author or editor of several books, including \u003cem\u003eChoreographic Politics: State Folk Dance Ensembles, Representation, and Power\u003c\/em\u003e (2003).\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 9.06 x 7.09 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 09, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51782404112672,"sku":"9780195386707","price":95.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d48bd5362e431c4676d55b1c6479d161.webp?v=1780569913","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/when-men-dance-choreographing-masculinities-across-borders-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
