OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

DANSOX: Dancing on Violent Ground: Utopia as Dispossession in Euro-American Theater Dance
Arabella Stanger, Senior Lecturer in Drama: Theatre and Performance at the University of Sussex, will be discussing her new book.
‘Dancing on Violent Ground: Utopia as Dispossession in Euro-American Theater Dance’ develops a new theory of choreographic space to shows how the embodied forms of hope promised in ballet and progressive dance modernisms conceal and depend on spatial operations of imperial, colonial, and racial subjection. Bold in its arguments and rigorous in its critique, Dancing on Violent Ground asks how performance scholars can develop a practice of thinking hopefully, without expunging history from their site of analysis.
