How does Dance then do Politics with the Body?

This review of the book Dance, Politics and Co-Immunity (a compilation of lectures given by prominent theorists at an international symposium at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen in 2010) tries to outline correlations and differences between the heterogeneous essays in this anthology. The contributions discuss and re-think the political potential of modern and contemporary dance as well as of social movements and choreographies in the age of Post-Fordism. They mark out the disrupting effects of specific choreographic methods and performances and describe the transformative potentiality of certain movements in the current sociopolitical fabric so desperately absorbed by economic paradigms.
