a style of belly dance), originating in Egypt in the 1920s and now practiced worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Egyptian Raqs sharqi, in this thesis, is examined in a way that centralizes the question of how such forms of heritage are embodied and transmitted by people (within and across cultures) via their practices, experiences, and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim is to identify the cultural heritage characteristics of Egyptian Raqs sharqi and evaluate if it can be considered heritage and how it locates itself within the field of ICH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing Egyptian Raqs Sharqi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In pursuing this aim, this thesis explores the challenges involved in safeguarding Egyptian Raqs sharqi as transcultural, living, and embodied heritage, whilst critically examining the suitability of separating cultural heritage into tangible and intangible forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A multidisciplinary, dialogical, and holistic framework for dance\/heritage is constructed, connecting dance theory, philosophically influenced sociology (particularly the non-dualistic theories of Merleau-Ponty, Bourdieu, and Giddens) and cultural heritage studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <u><a href=\"https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/terminology\/\">ethnochoreological approach<\/a><\/u> and a qualitative methodology are adopted, analyzing formal aspects of dance (including movements and artefacts) and its socio-cultural context, using: analysis of online videos of dance and textual sources; online ethnography and one-to-one interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a reconstruction of Egyptian Raqs sharqi history and the current discourse around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance.jpg 800w, https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance-600x380.jpg 600w\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Enjoying dance in Egypt and Morocco on a dance tour.\" class=\"wp-image-1483 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoying dance in Egypt and Morocco on a dance tour.\" class=\"wp-image-1483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance.jpg 800w, https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worlddanceheritage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/egyptian-dance-600x380.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On a trip to Egypt and Morocco enjoying traditional forms of dance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transculturality of Dance &amp;
