Erin Brannigan's book "The Persistence of Dance: Choreography as Concept and Material in Contemporary Art" explores dance as a contemporary art form that challenges power dynamics and questions its place within museum and gallery spaces. Brannigan advocates for a reevaluation of dance within the historical context of the museum, pushing for a new term, "post-dance," to further debate its role as a contemporary art medium. Through case studies and discussions on intermediality, Brannigan calls for a reclamation of dance's rightful place within the canon of visual art practices, emphasizing the need for recognition and inclusion of dance within art history.
