Books by Felicia (Professor of French McCarren

Based on research in the archives of the Paris Opera, One Dead at the Paris Opera Ballet illustrates the full and complex history of performances of the ballet The Source, contextualized by political events, colonial and post-colonial narratives, and staging theories of heredity and hybridity.

This book shows how le hip hop reflects a republic of culture rather than a culture industry; a minority identity politics that takes shape as a movement poetics or figural language; and the public valorization of dance as a technique, meriting unemployment compensation and understood as a high-tech knowledge practice.
