舞蹈，无论被视为一种艺术形式还是体现的社会实践，作为产品或过程，都是文化分析的主要主题。然而直到最近，舞蹈研究才开始关注舞蹈实践、表演和制度的意识形态、理论和社会意义。简·C·德斯蒙德（Jane C. Desmond）在《运动的意义》一书中汇集了那些涉足舞蹈和文化研究之间界限的评论家的作品，从而描绘出一个鲜为人知且很少探索的关键场所。
来自艺术史和人类学、舞蹈史和政治学、哲学和女性研究等不同学科的撰稿人从广泛的角度撰写文章，描绘了该网站的问题和挑战。舞蹈如何制定或改造社会身份类别？随着舞蹈风格跨越种族、国籍或阶级的界限，意义会如何变化？我们如何谈论物质性和运动、感觉和表现力、动觉和意识形态？作者在各种背景下探讨了这些问题：从流行的社交舞蹈到前卫的实验；从十九世纪的芭蕾舞和当代非洲裔巴西狂欢节舞蹈到嘻哈、舞厅和电影；从民间舞蹈的民族主义政治到现代舞的女权主义哲学。 《运动的意义》定义了一个新的研究领域，拓宽了舞蹈分析的范围，并将处理体现、身份和表征问题的新方法扩展到文化研究。

Dance, whether considered as an art form or embodied social practice, as product or process, is a prime subject for cultural analysis. Yet only recently have studies of dance become concerned with the ideological, theoretical, and social meanings of dance practices, performances, and institutions. In Meaning in Motion , Jane C. Desmond brings together the work of critics who have ventured into the boundaries between dance and cultural studies, and thus maps a little-known and rarely explored critical site.
Writing from a broad range of perspectives, contributors from disciplines as varied as art history and anthropology, dance history and political science, philosophy and women’s studies chart the questions and challenges that mark this site. How does dance enact or rework social categories of identity? How do meanings change as dance styles cross borders of race, nationality, or class? How do we talk about materiality and motion, sensation and expressivity, kinesthetics and ideology? The authors engage these issues in a variety of contexts: from popular social dances to the experimentation of the avant-garde; from nineteenth-century ballet and contemporary Afro-Brazilian Carnival dance to hip hop, the dance hall, and film; from the nationalist politics of folk dances to the feminist philosophies of modern dance. Giving definition to a new field of study, Meaning in Motion broadens the scope of dance analysis and extends to cultural studies new ways of approaching matters of embodiment, identity, and representation.
