Reviews

'Dance Pathologies synthesizes original research and critical theory to illuminate crucial issues in at least three fields: French literature and culture of the nineteenth century; dance history and feminist performance theory; modern medicine, including psychoanalysis and its discontents. McCarren skillfully makes the reader feel strangely at home among so many uncanny juxtapositions. This book harvests the fruits of a decade of critical rethinking about Freud and Lacan and historical research into the history of medicine to rewrite the history of dance in literature, as literature, and against literature. In that way it is without rivals.' Joseph Roach, Yale University
