Cameron -- Worshippers of Nataraja Still / Laura Weinstein -- Dancing Change in South Asian Cinemas: Performers, Erotics, and Politics / Esha Niyogi De -- Catalogue of the exhibition "Beyond Bollywood: 2000 Years of Danc in the Arts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Himalayan Region" is an exhibition catalogue accompanying the traveling exhibition of the same name. Beyond Bollywood explores the role and depiction of dance in the art and culture of the Indian world, whether it is the sacred dance of a god bringing the world into being or the sensual performance of a courtly lady before a maharaja. With five scholarly essays, this lavishly illustrated catalogue features entries on over 150 objects from numerous American museums and private collection. The exhibition and its accompanying publication are built around key objects. The authors ask the vital question of what dance is accomplishing or embodying within these artworks- such functions as destruction and creation, devotion, subjugation, glorification, and celebration. Woven throughout the text is thoughtful exploration of key themes such as religion; power; gender; sexuality; and cultural continuity, evolution, and reinvention" |
