Dance Anthropology and Migration Research: Connections, Directions, Possibilities

Abstract

Drawing on international literature, and without claiming to be exhaustive, this paper aims to review how research on the social practices of movement accompanied by music relates to international mobility and issues faced by migrant populations. The paper addresses the question of how dance studies can contribute to the exploration and understanding of different forms of international migration, both individual and communal.
