Indian Classical Dance and the Making of Postcolonial National Identities (eBook, PDF)

Dancing on Empire's Stage

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Previous studies have analysed Indian classical dance as an expression of Indian religious and nationalist culture, examining the art form solely in the context of Indian history and culture. In investigating performances of Indian classical dance in the UK it is possible to argue that classical Indian dance has become a key aspect of the mutual constitution of not only postcolonial Indian and South Asia diasporic identities, but also of British multicultural and transnational identity. This book explores what happens when national cultural production is reproduced outside the immediate social, political and cultural context of its construction.
