Differently, the book reimagines contemporary dance along a \"South-South\" axis, as a poly-centric, justice-oriented, aesthetic-temporal category, with intersectional understandings of difference as a central organizing principle. Placing alterity and heat, generated via multiple pathways, at its center, it foregrounds the work of South-South artists, who push against constructions of \"tradition\" and white-centered aesthetic imperatives, to reinvent their choreographic toolkit and respond to urgent questions of their times. In recasting the grounds for a different \"global stage,\" the argument widens its scope to indicate how dance-making both indexes current contextual inequities and broader relations of social, economic, political, and cultural power, and inaugurates future dimensions of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45278338777239,"sku":"9783030439149","price":6243.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030439149.webp?v=1769290692","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/heat-and-alterity-in-contemporary-dance-south-south-choreographies-9783030439149","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
