Reconstruction, reenactment and work-performance Conclusion Notes References and bibliographyReviewsThis wonderfully rich book is essential reading for anyone interested in better understanding the objects that engage us in dance practice, dance criticism, and dance appreciation. Pakes's exploration of central issues in dance ontology is informed by a deep knowledge of dance history and dance practice, and by an astute critical grasp of the relevant philosophical issues. Dance, as Pakes notes, has been marginal to debates in analytic ontology of art: this book shows why this must no longer be the case. -- David Davies, McGill University Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. -- J. D.

Her focus on dance history, practice, and aesthetics discourse provides stunningly original and erudite exploration of what dance works are. Pakes weaves a complex tapestry drawing from an astonishing range of current and classical proposals. Future work on these important issues cannot help but be shaped by the fresh contributions in this splendid book. * Julie C.
