Dance performances can now be seen anywhere, can be looped endlessly at user whim, and can integrate crowds in unprecedented ways. Dance practices are evolving to explore these new possibilities. In \u003ci\u003ePerpetual Motion\u003c\/i\u003e, Harmony Bench argues that dance is a vital part of civil society and a means for building participation and community. She looks at how, after 9\/11, it became a crucial way of recuperating the common character of public spaces. She explores how crowdsourcing dance contributes to the project of performing a common world, as well as the social relationships forged when we look at dance as a gift in the era of globalization. Throughout, she asks how dance brings people together in digital spaces and what dance's digital travels might mean for how we experience and express community. \u003cp\u003eFrom original research on dance today to political economies of digital media to the philosophy of dance, \u003ci\u003ePerpetual Motion\u003c\/i\u003e provides an ambitious, invigorating look at a commonly shared practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harmony Bench\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517900522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517900526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.50d","brand":"Harmony Bench","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088505876735,"sku":"9781517900526","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_471e20ba-0db8-449d-8c73-fdbd0fed14f2.jpg?v=1769105139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perpetual-motion-harmony-bench-9781517900526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
