Autor

Catherine F. Botha (Ph.D., Philosophy, Radboud University Nijmegen) is professor of Philosophy at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. She uses her expertise in the phenomenological tradition and its precursors in the continental tradition (most especially the work of Nietzsche and Heidegger) as a lens through which to approach the focus of her research - the philosophy of art, with a special focus on the philosophy of dance. She has published numerous articles and chapters in the philosophy of dance, with her most recent publication "The Dancing Body and the Transmission of Collective Memory in South Africa" appearing in the Routledge Companion to Dance Studies in 2020.
