Through the concept of "social choreography" Andrew Hewitt demonstrates how choreography has served not only as metaphor for modernity but also as a structuring blueprint for thinking about and shaping modern social organization. Linking dance and the aesthetics of everyday movement, such as walking, stumbling, and laughing - to historical ideals of social order, he provides a powerful exposition of Marxist debates about the relation of ideology and aesthetics.
