Brazilian Journal of Dance Research

What is the political in the field of dance? How can we approach the political body in dance? These are questions that arise from the understanding that the body is a political condition in its various dimensions of existence. As a visceral and aesthetic phenomenon, the category of the political is proposed as a plurality in its epistemic, ontological and ethical aspects. In this context, the materiality of dancing has produced changes on the contemporary scene that merit reflection. Based on these assumptions, the Brazilian Journal of Dance Studies proposes the thematic dossier “Dance and Politics” in order to expand the relationship between dance and its various contexts.
