Recenzii

"Everynight Life, a collection of papers presented at the conference "Politics in Motion" ... is an attempt to deal with a wide number of issues related to dance as "the privileged site in the production of cultural identities"... Most articles question simplistic polarities and explore the complexities of translation and translocation ... [the essays] question our stereotypes of nations and borders, and the notion of the Latinidad."--Times Literary Supplement, January 7, 2000 "This is an exciting and an important book, just the kind of contribution that many of us have been eager to find. It weaves politics with popular culture, national borders with rhythm. In short it's up-to-date in terms of intellectual issues, and sensitively down-to-earth in ways that make practical sense." Doris Sommer, Harvard University "Everynight Life is a major contribution to the ongoing investigation of specific cultural practices heretofore ignored by traditional academic investigation. It will be of specific value to scholars and critics studying issues of performance and performativity as they inform practices of subject-formation in its political, cultural, and sexual dimensions." Ricardo Ortiz, Dartmouth College
