It is the first book of scholarship on bharata natyam (a classical dance originating in India) in Sri Lanka, and the first on the role of this dance in the country's war. Focusing on women dancers, Ahalya Satkunaratnam shows how they navigated conditions of conflict and a neoliberal, global economy, resisted nationalism and militarism, and advocated for peace. Her interdisciplinary methodology combines historical analysis, methods of dance studies, and dance ethnography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahalya Satkunaratnam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819578894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819578891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Ahalya Satkunaratnam","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079774269695,"sku":"9780819578891","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a888e7e8-bcb1-4ba5-a8b2-0bd79e4f8375.jpg?v=1685483063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moving-bodies-navigating-conflict-ahalya-satkunaratnam-9780819578891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
