This book argues that contemporary dance, imagined to have a global belonging, is vitiated by euro-white constructions of risk and currency that remain at its core. Differently, the book reimagines contemporary dance as a poly-centric aesthetic-temporal category, through the work of artists from South-South locations, who push against constructions of 'tradition' and white-centered aesthetic imperatives to reinvent their choreographic toolkit and respond to urgent questions of their times. | Heat And Alterity In Contemporary Dance by Ananya Chatterjea, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
