OverviewIn various ways, the essays presented in this volume explore the structures and aesthetic possibilities of music, dance and dramatic representation in ritual and theatrical situations in a diversity of ethnographic contexts in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

The aim is above all to explore the way artistic and aesthetic practices in performance produce and structure experience.
