| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index Introducing colonial and postcolonial dialectics on the subject of dance -- Dismissal veiling desire: Kuchuk Hanem and imperial masculinity -- The dance of extravagant pleasure: male performers of the Orient and the politics of the imperial gaze -- Dancing decadence: semiotics of dance and the phantasm of Salome -- "I have seen this dance on old Greek vases": Hellenism and the worlding of Greek dance -- What dancer from which dance? : concluding reflections -- Epilogue -- Notes "Stavros Stavrou Karayanni, through historical investigation, theoretical analysis, and personal reflection, explores how Middle Eastern dance actively engages race, sex, and national identity. Close readings of colonial travel narratives, an examination of Oscar Wilde's Salome, and analyses of treatises about Greek dance, reveal the intricate ways in which this controversial dance has been shaped by Eurocentric models that define and control identity performance."--Jacket |
