Long treated as peripheral to music history, dance has become prominent within musicological research, as a prime and popular subject for an increasing number of books, articles, conference papers and special symposiums. Despite this growing interest, there remains no thorough-going critical examination of the ways in which musicologists might engage with dance, thinking not only about specific repertoires or genres, but about fundamental commonalities between the two, including embodiment, agency, subjectivity and consciousness. This volume begins to fill this gap. Ten chapters illustrate a range of conceptual, historical and interpretive approaches that advance the interdisciplinary study of music and dance. This methodological eclecticism is a defining feature of the volume, integrating insights from critical theory, film and cultural studies, the visual arts, phenomenology, cultural anthropology and literary criticism into the study of music and dance.

"Based on multiple decades of research on and experience with Egyptian dance and music, this book is a unique exploration into the history, expansion, aesthetics, social reality, regulation, and transformation of different forms of dance and dance music in Egypt. The book covers raqs sharqi (Oriental dance, known as belly dance or danse du ventre), raqs sha'biyya (regional or group-specific dances and rituals), sha'bi (lower-class urban music and a dance style), mulid (drawing on Sufi tradition and the festive character of saints' day festivals) and mahraganat (youth-created, primarily electronic music with lively rhythms and biting lyrics). Each chapter touches on a different aspect of Egyptian dance, including genres and sub-genres and evolution, the demeanor of dancers, trends old and new, and social and political criticism using the imagery of dance or a dancer. It also considers the globalization of Egyptian dance, the replication or fantasies of raqs sharqi outside of Egypt, as well as the adoption of the dance as a hobby, competitive dance form, and focus of international dance festivals"-- "This book is an exploration into the history, aesthetics, social reality, regulation, and transformation of dance and dance music in Egypt.
