"IMAGING DANCE" - A Call for Contributions

A publication is being planned by an international group of dance
scholars on reading dance images. Abstracts are being sought from
scholars from diverse perspectives, such as dance, art, history, theatre,
archeology, ethnology, anthropology, music, and literature.

The focus of the proposed volume is imaging dance through the plastic
arts. That is, we start with an artistic image of dance -- a painting,
etching, sculpture, etc. made by artists (for the most part) -- and then
analyse it. The intended audience is cross/interdisciplinary. While
giving the volume a scholarly bent, we and the publisher hope also to
reach amore general group of readers.

If you are interested in contributing to this publication, as soon as
possible (and no later than 30 September 2004), please send an abstract
of one page plus a brief bibliography and a CV that includes your
publications to:

Dott.ssa Barbara Sparti
bspartimclink.it
Via S. Onofrio 24A

I-00165 Rome, Italy

For those whose abstracts are chosen by the readers, the proposed length
of essays will be that of a chapter in a book--20-30 pages, but this will
be communicated at the proper time. These essays will also be vetted by
our editorial board and by the publisher's as well.

Previously published contributions also will be considered.

However, do not send articles (though these may be referred to), or
website information.
