Biography

Marion Kant is a musicologist and dance historian with a focus on the intersection of body politics, aesthetics, and performance. Her teaching encompasses subjects related to theatre, opera, ballet, and the historical context of German-Jewish relations during periods of ideology and Nazism. Her research emphasizes the history of aesthetics within modern literature, art, and musical theatre, as well as the evolution of dance history within avant-garde arts. Kant has written extensively on German physical cultures and the emergence of nationalist ideologies and has explored themes of anti-fascist exile and German-Jewish assimilation. Currently, she is engaged in research examining the relationship between the German nationalism movement and its concepts from the 19th and 20th centuries. Additionally, she serves as the editor for a six-volume Cultural History of Dance published by Bloomsbury.
