    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment investigates new forms of choreographic dramaturgy and interpretation inherent. Joining junior and senior scholars as well as practitioners in the field, the handbook shows how the recovery of past dances has come to constitute a new branch of contemporary choreographic activity.

    Long description:

    The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment brings together a cross-section of artists and scholars engaged with the phenomenon of reenactment in dance from a practical and theoretical standpoint. Synthesizing myriad views on danced reenactment and the manner in which this branch of choreographic performance intersects with important cultural concerns around appropriation this Handbook addresses originality, plagiarism, historicity, and spatiality as it relates to cultural geography. Others topics treated include transmission as a heuristic device, the notion of the archive as it relates to dance and as it is frequently contrasted with embodied cultural memory, pedagogy, theory of history, reconstruction as a methodology, testimony and witnessing, theories of history as narrative and the impact of dance on modernist literature, and relations of reenactment to historical knowledge and new media.

    Overall, this volume provides an invaluable platform for profound engagement with a complex layering of possibilities and experiments in which documentary and remembered evidence of past dances dialogues with the reality of present-day corporeality.
