This book renews thinking about the moving body by drawing on dance practice and performance from across the world. Eighteen internationally recognised scholars show how dance can challenge our thoughts and feelings about our own and other cultures, our emotions and prejudices, and our sense of public and private space. In so doing, they offer a multi-layered response to ideas of affect and emotion, culture and politics, and ultimately, the place of dance and art itself within society.

The chapters in this collection arise from a number of different political and historical contexts. By teasing out their detail and situating dance within them, art is given a political charge. That charge is informed by the work of Michel Foucault, Stuart Hall, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Rancière and Luce Irigaray as well as their forebears such as Spinoza, Plato and Freud. Taken together, Choreography and Corporeality: RELAY in Motion puts thought into motion, without forgetting its origins in the social world.

本书通过借鉴世界各地的舞蹈实践和表演，更新了对运动身体的思考。18位国际知名学者展示了舞蹈如何挑战我们对自己和其他文化的想法和感受、我们的情感和偏见，以及我们对公共和私人空间的感觉。在这样做的过程中，他们对情感和情绪、文化和政治，以及最终对舞蹈和艺术本身在社会中的地位等观念做出了多层次的回应。

这本集子中的各章产生于一些不同的政治和历史背景。通过了解它们的细节并将舞蹈置于其中，艺术被赋予了一种政治指控。这种指控是由Michel Foucault、Stuart Hall、Gilles Deleuze、Jacques Derrida、Rancière和Luce Irigaray以及他们的前辈，如Spinoza、Plato和Freud的作品提供的。总之，《编排与肉体》。运动中的RELAY将思想带入运动中，同时不忘其在社会世界中的渊源。
