Looking out for the appearance of modern steps around the geographical world, it also shines a light on the social world of dancing, where conventions that were specific to this realm shaped the conduct of its population. It considers how significant these 'worlds of dancing' were for class, gender, race and inter-generational relations, for personal relationships and social interactions. In case studies from Buenos Aires to Tokyo, from Manchester to Johannesburg and from Chelyabinsk to Auckland, the anthology also examines how dance cultures spread around the world and analyses their local adaptations. Finally, the volume asks how, and with what consequence, the mass culture of radio and film affected social dancing as an institution in various parts of the globe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSocial and cultural historians interested in the production and consumption of popular culture and its social effects will find this book vital, as will students interested in the transnational history of culture, dance history and popular music.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45034320363671,"sku":"9781526156259","price":10031.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781526156259.webp?v=1767897136","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/worlds-of-social-dancing-dance-floor-encounters-and-the-global-rise-of-couple-dancing-c-1910-40-9781526156259","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
