      abstract = {This book contributes to the growing scientific literature  on 'intangible cultural heritage' - determined by UNESCO to  be particularly worthy of safeguarding and transmission -  by advancing a theoretical-analytical framework for the  (in)tangible cultural heritage of dance. By exploring the  potential of the 'intangible materiality' of dance practice  the book argues that implementing the concept of a  'performative dance-archive' creates a new analytic field:  research in praxis. The concept of the 'performative  dance-archive' draws out the potential for safeguarding and  transmission of dance heritage, but also the challenges of  the opposition between living heritage and the codifying of  cultural inventories. This book uses the formal and  contextual transformation of Argentine tango and German  modern dance to discuss this ambiguity of intangible  heritage and how the "performative dance-archive" creates a  cognitive, empractical approach to determine, archive, and  distribute dance knowledge. This is a timely methodological  intervention in the context of the increasing importance of  the intangible cultural heritage. It enables us to  re-revise the concept of (im)materiality and the specific  knowledges within cultural practice as a necessary  fundamental category for research-processes and societal  growth. This book is directed both to researchers in the  field of intangible cultural heritage and to practitioners  and researchers searching for new ways of investigating  methods and perspectives to understand 'immaterial  materialities'.},
