Dear colleagues, it is with great pleasure to announce the publication of: Tanz und WahnSinn / Dance and ChoreoMania ed. Johannes Birringer & Josephine Fenger Yearbook 21 of GTF, German Society for Dance Research. August 2011 / Leipzig: Henschel Verlag, ISBN-10: 3894877103 In German and English. Throughout the history of civilization, dance and madness have been intricately linked to each other – from the Dionysian Mysteries of antiquity to contemporary flash mobs and techno raves. Individual and collective states of exception have found expression and reflection as well as cathartic healing through dancing. Tanz und WahnSinn/Dance and ChoreoMania presents a provocative collection of interdisciplinary studies on dance and madness combining historical, cultural, schizoanalytic, medical, philosophical, therapeutic and artistic perspectives that explore the phenomenon.
