Dancing Mestizo Modernisms: Choreographing Postcolonial and Postrevolutionary Me

Description: Dancing Mestizo Modernisms by Jose Luis Reynoso Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book analyzes how national and international dancers contributed to developing Mexicos cultural politics and notions of the nation at different historical moments. It emphasizes how dancers and other moving bodies resisted and reproduced racial and social hierarchies stemming from colonial Mexico (1521-1821). Relying on extensive archival research, choreography as an analytical methodology, and theories of race, dance, and performance studies, author JoseReynoso examines how dance and other forms of embodiment participated in Mexicos formation after the Mexican War of Independence (1821-1876), the Porfirian dictatorship (1876-1911), and postrevolutionaryMexico (1919-1940). In so doing, the book analyzes how underlying colonial logics continued to influence relationships amongst dancers, other artists, government officials, critics, and audiences of different backgrounds as they refashioned their racial, social, cultural, and national identities. The book proposes and develops two main concepts that explore these mutually formative interactions among such diverse people: embodied mestizo modernisms and transnationalnationalisms. Embodied mestizo modernisms refers to combinations of indigenous, folkloric, ballet, and modern dance practices in works choreographed by national and international dancers with differentracial and social backgrounds. The book contends that these mestizo modernist dance practices challenged assumptions about racial neutrality with which whiteness historically established its ostensible supremacy in constructing Mexicos transnational nationalisms. This argument holds that notions of the nation-state and national identities are not produced exclusively by a nations natives but also by historical transnational forces and (dancing) bodies whose influences shape local politics,economic interests, and artistic practices.
