Pina Bausch (1940-2009) became a cult figure in the international dance scene with her "Tanztheater Wuppertal" which she both founded and directed. In her choreographies she combined classical dance with elements of performance art, mime, acrobatics, sports, acting, and song, thereby creating a new art genre that both suited the spirit of the times and, by the artistic radicality of her productions, set the parameters for the future of dance theater. Wim Wenders dedicates his remarkable documentary Pina to her oeuvre. The film won the Deutscher Filmpreis 2011 for best documentary and was nominated for the 2012 Oscar for best documentary. Donata Wenders' still camera accompanied the shooting of Wim Wenders' congenial homage to Pina Bausch and her celebrated ensemble. This book offers a unique view of both the film and the stunning oeuvre of revolutionary choreographer Pina Bausch and her legendary dance company.

Christians have been debating about drinking alcohol for decades. From some churches using wine during Communion to others strictly prohibiting any use, from Christians brewing beer at home to those advocating complete abstinence, this controversial subject touches cultures and consciences worldwide. These reflections from book four in the Powder Room not only uncork myths and mire, but also add bubbly banter and intoxicating intrigue to decades’ worth of dilemmas. Yes, Jesus drank wine, but was it “purified water” as some contend? Yes, the Bible says not to be drunkards, but does that include a beer while watching a football game? Yes, some people become alcoholics, but not everyone. Thoroughly considered—in a Thoroughly-Modern-Millie kind of way—are all aspects of this Christian dilemma including current, historical, biblical, medical, spiritual, emotional, physical, and even criminal issues. Written not to condone or condemn, a variety of views are brought to the table and served with flair, foaming with robust flavors and fizz!

What do we mean when we refer to the world? How does the world relate to the human person? Are the two interdependent and, if so, in what way? What does the world mean for the ethnographer and the anthropologist? Much has been said of worlds and worldviews, but are we really certain we know what we mean when we use these words? Asking these questions and many more, this book explores the conditions of possibility for the ethnographic gesture and how those possibilities can shed light on the relationship between humans and the world in which they are found. As Joao de Pina-Cabral shows, important changes have occurred over the past decades concerning the way in which we relate the way we think to the way we are as a humanity embodied. Exploring new confrontations with a new conceptualization of the human condition, Cabral sketches a new anthropology, one that contributes to an ongoing separation from the socio-centric and representationalist constraints that have plagued the social sciences over the past century.

This volume provides new, ground-breaking perspectives on the globally renowned work of the Tanztheater Wuppertal and its iconic founder and artistic director, Pina Bausch. The company's performances, how it developed its productions, the global transfer of its choreographic material and the reactions of audiences and critics are explained as complex, interdependent and reciprocal processes of translation. This is the first book to focus on the artistic research conducted for the Tanztheater's international coproductions and features extensive interviews with dancers, collaborators and spectators and provides first-hand ethnographic insights into the work process. By introducing the praxeology of translation as a key methodological concept for dance research, Gabriele Klein argues that Pina Bausch's lasting legacy is defined by an entanglement of temporalities that challenges the notion of contemporaneity.
