This is a Book About Whiteness and the Gaze.This book is the first to consider contemporary African dance theatre aesthetics in the context of phenomenology, whiteness, and the gaze. Rather than a discussion of African dance per se, the author challenges hegemonic perceptions of contemporary African dance theatre to interrogate the extent to which white supremacy and privilege weave through capitalist necropolitics and determine our perception of contemporary African dance theatre today. Multiple aesthetic strategies are discussed throughout the book to account for the affective experience of 'un-suturing' that touches white spectatorship and colonial guilt at their core. The critical analysis covers a broad range of dance choreography by artists from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Canada, Europe, and the US as they travel, create, and show their works internationally to global audiences to contest racial divides and white supremacist politics. .New World Choreographies,2730-9274DancePerforming artsTheaterTheaterHistoryActorsEthnologyAfricaCultureDanceTheatre and Performance ArtsContemporary Theatre and PerformancePerformers and PractitionersApplied TheatreAfrican CultureDance.Performing arts.Theater.TheaterHistory.Actors.EthnologyCulture.Dance.Theatre and Performance Arts.Contemporary Theatre and Performance.Performers and Practitioners.Applied Theatre.African Culture.305.8301Sörgel Sabineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut861778ProQuest (Firm)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483373803321Contemporary African Dance Theatre2592333UNINA
