Índex; Conté: Introduction -- Reworking the ballet : (en)countering the canon -- Canonical crossings : narratives and forms revisioned -- Female bodies and the erotic : performativity, becoming and the phallus -- Princely revisions : stillness, excess and queerness -- Intercultural encounters : flesh, hybridity and the exotic -- Conclusion: Transgressive desires
N2  - "Challenging and unsettling their predecessors, modern choreographers such as Matthew Bourne, Mark Morris and Masaki Iwana have courted controversy and notoriety by reimagining the most canonical of Classical and Romantic ballets." "In this book, Dr. Vida Midgelow examines the ways in which these contemporary reworkings unveil and dismantle the basic assumptions of their texts, reconfiguring ballet to encompass changing attitudes towards gender, sexuality and cultural difference." -- Contracoberta
