Entangled Mobilities in the Transnational Salsa Circuit: The Esperanto of the Body, Gender and Ethnicity (The Feminist Imagination - Europe and Beyond): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Entangled Mobilities in the Transnational Salsa Circuit: The Esperanto of the Body, Gender and Ethnicity (The Feminist Imagination - Europe and Beyond)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781003002697, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

With attention to the transnational dance world of salsa, this book explores the circulation of people, imaginaries, dance movements, conventions and affects from a transnational perspective. Through interviews and ethnographic, multi-sited research in several European cities and Havana, the author draws on the notion of entangled mobilities to show how the intimate gendered and ethnicised moves on the dance floor relate to the cross-border mobility of salsa dance professionals and their students. A combination of research on migration and mobility with studies of music and dance, Entangled Mobilities in the Transnational Salsa Circuit contributes to the fields of transnationalism, mobility and dance studies, thus providing a deeper theoretical and empirical understanding of gendered and racialised transnational phenomena. As such it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in migration, cultural studies and gender studies.

Entangled Mobilities in the Transnational Salsa Circuit

With attention to the transnational dance world of salsa, this book explores the circulation of people, imaginaries, dance movements, conventions and affects from a transnational perspective. Through interviews and ethnographic, multi-sited research in several European cities and Havana, the author draws on the notion of entangled mobilities to show how the intimate gendered and ethnicised moves on the dance floor relate to the cross-border mobility of salsa dance professionals and their students. A combination of research on migration and mobility with studies of music and dance, Entangled Mobilities in the Transnational Salsa Circuit contributes to the fields of transnationalism, mobility and dance studies, thus providing a deeper theoretical and empirical understanding of gendered and racialised transnational phenomena. As such it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in migration, cultural studies and gender studies.

With a specific focus on the notion of cultural translation and travelling theory, this series operates on the assumption that ideas are shaped by the contexts in which they emerge, as well as by the ways that they travel across borders and are received and re-articulated in new contexts. In demonstrating the complexity of the differences (and similarities) in feminist thought throughout Europe and between Europe and other parts of the world, the books in this series highlight the ways in which intellectual and political traditions, often read as homogeneous, are more often heterogeneous. It therefore provides a forum for the latest work that engages with the European experience, illuminating the various exchanges (from the USA as well as Europe) that have informed European feminism. The series thus allows for an international discussion about the history and imaginary of Europe from perspectives within and outside Europe, examining not only Europes colonial legacy, but also the various forms of cultural imperialism that have shaped societies outside Europe. Considering aspects of Europe abroad as well as Europe at home, this series is committed to publishing work that reveals the central and continued importance of the genealogy of feminist ideas to feminism and all those interested in questions of gender.

Engaging in the long journey of a dissertation and a book on and off the salsa dance floor would not have been possible without the support of many people.

I would first like to express my sincere gratitude to all the research participants who contributed to this study. Muchas gracias for the time spent discussing, for the trust and openness to share personal stories in interviews and of course for the many dances. Salsa photographer Valentin Behringer generously allowed me to use his photographs to add some images to the descriptions and analysis in this book.

My sincere thanks go to my thesis supervisor Janine Dahinden who trusted me in my choices and supported me throughout the thesis process. This work owes much to her close reading of numerous drafts and her guiding me to push further. I would also like to thank the three members of my thesis committee Kathy Davis, Ellen Hertz and Jonathan Skinner, who carefully read earlier versions of this work. Their detailed comments and questions were extremely helpful in reviewing the thesis for this book.

Upon arriving at the Laboratory for the Study of Social Processes, I had the chance to be surrounded by amazing colleagues. This book is not least the result of the fruitful exchange of ideas with them. In particular I would like to thank Matthieu Bolay, Aylin Eriksen, Carolin Fischer, Shpresa Jashari, Faten Khazaei, Anne Kristol, Jolle Moret, Alain Mueller, Aurlien Petzold, Alice Sala, Martine Schaer, Marion Schulze and Marc Tadorian. A big shout out to the participants of our weekly writing spaces, whose friendship and encouragement at the right moment was central in making it through the thicket of academic writing.

I was lucky to present drafts and ideas from this book at several conferences, where I got valuable feedback from other salsa-dancing colleagues, notably Ruxandra Ana, Alice Aterianus-Owanga and Brigid McClure. In spring 2016 I had the chance to spend two months as a visiting research student at Kings College in London. I would like to thank Ananya Kabir and her Modern Moves team for their welcome in an extremely stimulating research environment.

I would also like to acknowledge the funding bodies that partly supported this research: the Office of Equal Opportunity and the Donation Funds of the Swiss National Science Foundation at the University of Neuchtel, as well as the Graduate School for Gender Studies at the University of Bern. The open access publication of this book was made possible through the Swiss National Science Foundation. I take the opportunity to thank Fiona Shearer, whose attentive copy editing was very precious. I would also like to thank the editorial team at Taylor & Francis for their attention to detail.

Finally, I am profoundly grateful to my family and friends for their continuous support in times of doubt just as much as joy related to this book project. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Alessandro, whose encouragement and presence throughout these years was invaluable. Grazie mille.

Its a cold Saturday evening in February 2016 I am surrounded by small groups of people all heading towards the convention centre near the lake in the heart of Zurich. As I open the doors, I can immediately hear the rhythmic music drifting down the stairs. I pass beneath an arch of multicoloured balloons; this year the Salsafestival Switzerland celebrates its 15th anniversary. In the entrance hall, people are queuing for their tickets, but I already wear the wristband I put on the day before, allowing me access during the whole festival: three party nights and the workshops during Saturday and Sunday.
