Anthea Kraut: Hollywood Dance-Ins and the Reproduction of Bodies, Gebunden

Klappentext

Hollywood Dance-ins and the Reproduction of Bodies is a scholarly study of the dance-in--a dancer who executes a star's choreography as cameras are being focused and lights are being set. Focusing on dance-ins in mid-twentieth century Hollywood, when film musicals and the studio system were at their height, author Anthea Kraut exposes the racialized and gendered corporeal ecosystem that operated behind the scenes, propping up and concealed behind the seeming self-referentiality of white stars' filmic dancing bodies.
