Sobre IBD

People all over the world dance traditional and popular dances that havebeen staged for purposes of representing specific national and ethnic groups.Anthony Shay suggests these staged dance productions be called 'ethno identitydances', especially to replace the term 'folk dance,' which Shay suggestsshould refer to the traditional dances found in village settings as an organicpart of village and tribal life. Shay investigates the many motives that impelpeople to dance in these staged productions: dancing for sex or dancing sexydances, dancing for fun and recreation, dancing for profit - such as dancingfor tourists - dancing for the nation or to demonstrate ethnic pride. In thisstudy Shay also examines belly dance, Zorba Dancing in Greek nightclubs andrestaurants, Tango, Hula, Irish step dancing, and Ukrainian dancing.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse.
