This collection of essays, spanning from 1996 to the present day, brings together key works by renowned scholar Mark Franko, exploring the dynamic field of dance and performance. The volume delves into pivotal controversies that shape the field, including Still/Here and Paris is Burning, while interlinking dance scholarship with performance theory, film, visual, and public art.

By assembling these essays from international sources, Choreographing Discourses encourages a wide scope of conversation and engagement, opening up core questions in ethics, embodiment, and performativity.
