A startling command from the dreaded Praetan brings chaos into the tranquil lives of hermaphrodites Eulio and his lover Orosin. Using the tour of the Merculian National Dance Company where Eulio is a star as cover, they board the Wellington, a militaristic starship that values nothing they believe in. Someone is passing secrets about fleet movements and weaponry to the enemies in the Troia, but the efforts of the two Merculians to unmask the spy only stir up a toxic mix of hatred and violence. Who will have to die before the Praetan is satisfied? The Danger Dance is a futuristic space adventure with enough swashbuckling action and intrigue to keep even the most jaded science fiction addict enthralled. “A crackerjack SF novel––moving, eloquent, and richly textured. I recommend it highly.” - Robert J. Sawyer, award-winning science fiction writer “…a tingling subversity of gender, sexuality and goosebumping excitement.

Book Synopsis Salome and the Dance of Writing by : Françoise Meltzer
Download or read book Salome and the Dance of Writing written by Françoise Meltzer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1987-03-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does literature imagine its own powers of representation? Françoise Meltzer attempts to answer this question by looking at how the portrait—the painted portrait, framed—appears in various literary texts. Alien to the verbal system of the text yet mimetic of the gesture of writing, the textual portrait becomes a telling measure of literature's views on itself, on the politics of representation, and on the power of writing. Meltzer's readings of textual portraits—in the Gospel writers and Huysmans, Virgil and Stendhal, the Old Testament and Apuleius, Hawthorne and Poe, Kafka and Rousseau, Walter Scott and Mme de Lafayette—reveal an interplay of control and subversion: writing attempts to veil the visual and to erase the sensual in favor of "meaning," while portraiture, with its claims to bringing the natural object to "life," resists and eludes such control. Meltzer shows how this tension is indicative of a politics of repression and subversion intrinsic to the very act of representation. Throughout, she raises and illuminates fascinating issues: about the relation of flattery to caricature, the nature of the uncanny, the relation of representation to memory and history, the narcissistic character of representation, and the interdependency of representation and power. Writing, thinking, speaking, dreaming, acting—the extent to which these are all controlled by representation must, Meltzer concludes, become "consciously unconscious." In the textual portrait, she locates the moment when this essential process is both revealed and repressed.

Book Synopsis Don't Act, Just Dance by : Catherine Gunther Kodat
Download or read book Don't Act, Just Dance written by Catherine Gunther Kodat and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-26 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At some point in their career, nearly all the dancers who worked with George Balanchine were told “don’t act, dear; just dance.” The dancers understood this as a warning against melodramatic over-interpretation and an assurance that they had all the tools they needed to do justice to the steps—but its implication that to dance is already to act in a manner both complete and sufficient resonates beyond stage and studio. Drawing on fresh archival material, Don’t Act, Just Dance places dance at the center of the story of the relationship between Cold War art and politics. Catherine Gunther Kodat takes Balanchine’s catch phrase as an invitation to explore the politics of Cold War culture—in particular, to examine the assumptions underlying the role of “apolitical” modernism in U.S. cultural diplomacy. Through close, theoretically informed readings of selected important works—Marianne Moore’s “Combat Cultural,” dances by George Balanchine, Merce Cunningham, and Yuri Grigorovich, Stanley Kubrick’s Spartacus, and John Adams’s Nixon in China—Kodat questions several commonly-held beliefs about the purpose and meaning of modernist cultural productions during the Cold War. Rather than read the dance through a received understanding of Cold War culture, Don’t Act, Just Dance reads Cold War culture through the dance, and in doing so establishes a new understanding of the politics of modernism in the arts of the period.

Book Synopsis Dancing Down the Barricades by : Matthew Frye Jacobson
Download or read book Dancing Down the Barricades written by Matthew Frye Jacobson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-11-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deep dive into racial politics, Hollywood, and Black cultural struggles for liberation as reflected in the extraordinary life and times of Sammy Davis Jr. Through the lens of Sammy Davis Jr.'s six-decade career in show business--from vaudeville to Vegas to Broadway, Hollywood, and network TV--Dancing Down the Barricades examines the workings of race in American culture. The title phrase holds two contradictory meanings regarding Davis's cultural politics: Did he dance the barricades down, as he liked to think, or did he simply dance down them, as his more radical critics would have it? Davis was at once a pioneering, barrier-busting, anti-Jim Crow activist and someone who was widely associated with accommodationism and wannabe whiteness. Historian Matthew Frye Jacobson attends to both threads, analyzing how industry norms, productions, scripts, roles, and audience expectations and responses were all framed by race against the backdrop of a changing America. In the spirit of better understanding Davis's life and career, Dancing Down the Barricades examines the complexities of his constraints, freedoms, and choices for what they reveal about Black history and American political culture.

Book Synopsis Learning to Dance on Moving Carpets by : Pauline Wren
Download or read book Learning to Dance on Moving Carpets written by Pauline Wren and published by Pauline Wren. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Many years ago, during my professional training as a therapist, a colleague commented to me that in so many cases we need to live life backwards. I understood exactly what he meant. If only we had the wisdom and the benefits of hindsight and the experience before living through the situation, we would suffer much less throughout our lives. This little book is going to try to share a few of the tools that I had to learn to manage my life in a very dysfunctional family with two narcissistic parents. Unfortunately, a child brought up in such a family has no resources and few other models than those of her parents to define herself and to help her to develop. She believes that the life that she is experiencing is everyone’s life and discovers other models and possibilities only much later. Unfortunately, the models established early during the first seven years of childhood are even more difficult to change. So, unless it is a child who acts out in a problematic way in school or in public, and who, therefore, obtains professional help, the child has little chance to learn to behave or react in a conscious or different way to what he has lived. There are, however, children, like me, who do not act out, who achieve, who comply, who succeed well academically, and, later, professionally. They suffer nonetheless from this emptiness and unease inside, from this eternal angst, from a deep confusion. Many also have their immune system compromised and they suffer from hidden physical illnesses, depression, frequent infections, unexplained or psychosomatic pain, where they have somatised [integrated in their physical bodies] the emotional and psychological suffering of their childhoods.
