"A primer of phenomenological categories and their application in
varying contexts . . . Back to the Dance Itself is like a tribute,
an unplanned Festschrift, celebrating Fraleigh's contribution to
the dynamic entwining of dance and phenomenology." --Journal of
Folklore Research
"This beautiful collection is a choreography of voices emanating
directly from movement. It celebrates Sondra Fraleigh's lifetime of
integrating philosophical knowledge with somatic experiences at the
same time as providing an empathic space for the contributions of
others. Pressing contemporary issues such as climate change, the
vitality of matter, and escaping from anthropocentrism are
addressed, revealing new resonances for the philosophy and
practices of phenomenology."--Susan Kozel, author of Closer:
Performance, Technologies, Phenomenology
"Diving deep inside the boundary spaces that link body and
language, this book is a tour de force. Asking 'What makes dance
what it is?', Fraleigh et al. thread experiential paths that will
appeal to movement practitioners across the dance and somatics
spectrum. Plural phenomenologies are made philosophically
accessible, with evocative exemplars revealing dance's immense
horizons: diverse, relationally purposeful and always closer than
we think."--Daniel Deslauriers, California Institute of Integral
Studies
