Dance and the Formation of Norden by Karen Vedel Pdf
What is the role of dance in the formation of the geopolitical region known as the Nordic Countries or Norden? In this book a group of dance scholars from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden shed light on the topic by juxtaposing material relating to theatrical, folkloric and social dancing in the 20th and 21st centuries. Contextualised in the wider cultural and political making of the region, the chapters relate dance to questions of emerging nations, canon building, local variations of global trends and democratic practices in the arts. The book is intended for an international readership with an interest in dance in all its manifestations.
