Download or read book To Dance is Human written by Judith Lynne Hanna and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1987-09-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring dance from the rural villages of Africa to the stages of Lincoln Center, Judith Lynne Hanna shows that it is as human to dance as it is to learn, to build, or to fight. Dance is human thought and feeling expressed through the body: it is at once organized physical movement, language, and a system of rules appropriate in different social situations. Hanna offers a theory of dance, drawing on work in anthropology, semiotics, sociology, communications, folklore, political science, religion, and psychology as well as the visual and performing arts. A new preface provides commentary on recent developments in dance research and an updated bibliography.

Theories of the dance_unlike sport, signing, martial arts, and rituals_are trivialized and vitiated by an astonishing number of outdated ideas. This book aims to clear some of the intellectual underbrush that tends to accumulate in neglected fields of academic study, and it will be especially useful to people who are interested in the anthropology of the dance and human movemen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1966, The Institute For Cultural Research brought together an eclectic group of individuals - from the sciences, the arts, business, government, and all manner of other disciplines.Established under the leadership of the writer and thinker Idries Shah, ICR considered profound questions facing human society, seeking answers by tackling problems in new ways. Or rather, as Shah insisted - in an ancient way. Such systems were employed routinely by human civilisation, until recent divisions and sub-divisions disrupted well-honed methods of advancement and progression.ICR's Monographs were written by invitation of the board of trustees - ranging widely in subject from the importance of storytelling to secret societies in West Africa. An extraordinary cornucopia of published work, they form a unique resource in their own right, and are being made available by The Idries Shah Foundation.

On the one hand there is the evidence of a strong impulse towards ecumenism on the part of the established religions, and, on the other, the very widespread trend among individuals towards seeking out and following religious beliefs and practices of a much less formal and less organized kind. The Nature of Religious Man is the report of a symposium designed to bring together the realm of tradition, featuring representative students of Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity; and of experience, featuring specialists in Zen, Yoga, and Christian mysticism.
