Double-weighted statement
This book provides a radically new analysis of Indian performing arts centred on processes of inclusion/exclusion. It is the first study to examine illicit/erotic performing arts in broad, historical context, and the phenomena of cross-dressed erotic male performers. Its intellectual remit is extensive and complex, bridging discourses on class, gender, globalization, economics, morality, and aesthetics to foreground the forms of inequality and power at work in the production, consumption, and politicization of dance in today’s India. It is also grounded in 18 months fieldwork with middle class dancers as well as some of India’s most marginal, stigmatised and secretive communities.
