Book Synopsis To Dance is Human by : Judith Lynne Hanna
Download or read book To Dance is Human written by Judith Lynne Hanna and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1987-09-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring dance from the rural villages of Africa to the stages of Lincoln Center, Judith Lynne Hanna shows that it is as human to dance as it is to learn, to build, or to fight. Dance is human thought and feeling expressed through the body: it is at once organized physical movement, language, and a system of rules appropriate in different social situations. Hanna offers a theory of dance, drawing on work in anthropology, semiotics, sociology, communications, folklore, political science, religion, and psychology as well as the visual and performing arts. A new preface provides commentary on recent developments in dance research and an updated bibliography.

Book excerpt: We like to think that stereotypes about 'the dance, ' 'dancers, ' and 'dancing' are not as prevalent as they were in the 19th century, but is this true? Theories of the dance_unlike sport, signing, martial arts, and rituals_are trivialized and vitiated by an astonishing number of outdated ideas. This book aims to clear some of the intellectual underbrush that tends to accumulate in neglected fields of academic study, and it will be especially useful to people who are interested in the anthropology of the dance and human movemen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern world the subject of religion assumes an ever-growing importance, despite a widely held view to the contrary. On the one hand there is the evidence of a strong impulse towards ecumenism on the part of the established religions, and, on the other, the very widespread trend among individuals towards seeking out and following religious beliefs and practices of a much less formal and less organized kind. The Nature of Religious Man is the report of a symposium designed to bring together the realm of tradition, featuring representative students of Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity; and of experience, featuring specialists in Zen, Yoga, and Christian mysticism.
