Description

The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment is a comprehensive guide to the field of dance and reenactment. It covers a wide range of topics, from the history and theory of dance and reenactment to its practice and performance. The handbook is written by a team of leading scholars in the field and is essential reading for anyone interested in dance and reenactment.

The handbook is divided into four parts:

Part I provides an overview of the history and theory of dance and reenactment. It covers topics such as the origins of dance and reenactment, the different types of dance and reenactment, and the role of dance and reenactment in society.

Part III presents a series of case studies of dance and reenactment from around the world. These case studies provide a close-up look at the different ways that dance and reenactment can be used to express culture, history, and identity.

Part IV looks to the future of dance and reenactment. It covers topics such as the new directions that dance and reenactment are taking, the challenges that dance and reenactment face, and the future of dance and reenactment in the 21st century.
