Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether in the private parlor, public hall, commercial "dance palace," or sleazy dive, dance has long been opposed by those who viewed it as immoral--more precisely as being a danger to the purity of those who practiced it, particularly women. In Adversaries of Dance, Ann Wagner presents a major study of opposition to dance over a period of four centuries in what is now the United States. Wagner bases her work on the thesis that the tradition of opposition to dance "derived from white, male, Protestant clergy and evangelists who argued from a narrow and selective interpretation of biblical passages," and that the opposition thrived when denominational dogma held greater power over people's lives and when women's social roles were strictly limited. Central to Wagner's work, which will be welcomed by scholars of both religion and dance, are issues of gender, race, and socioeconomic status. "There are no other works that even begin to approach this definitive accomplishment." --Amanda Porterfield, author of Female Piety in Puritan New England

Download or read book The Silents of God written by Terry Lindvall and published by Rlpg/Galleys. This book was released on 2001 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lindvall (visual communication, Regent U. in Virginia Beach, Virginia) brings together a collection of documents from the early-20th century which reveal the many forms of accommodation, resistance, and negotiation between silent film and religion (specifically, the Christian Protestant faith). The texts are grouped in a four-part chronological schema covering the early years, when the cinema was valued as a potential new tool for church work and social reform; the "great debates" between 1913 and 1919 over the moral and social consequences of the cinema; a renewal of interest in film as "the handmaiden of religion" from 1919-1920; and the subsequent conservative disillusionment with the entertainment culture from 1920- 1925. An extensive bibliography of additional articles and essays is included for those wishing further reading on the topic. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
