About the Book
Vol.1 ISBN 9789368537090 Vol.2 ISBN 9789368533245 Mohiniyattam a classical dance form from Kerala. Sensitive to both its past and present, as well as to the practice and theoretical constructs of this reinvented art form, the editors of the two volumes have compiled contributions from academics and practitioners. These essays form a fascinating and well-planned mosaic of ideas, addressing questions of historical continuity, national and regional identity, and critical engagement with aesthetics. The volumes also delve into intersectional themes such as cultural policies, caste, religion, and gender areas often neglected in existing literature on Mohiniyattam.
