The proceedings in this publication derive from the international conference Times for Change: Transnational Migrations and Cultural Crossings in Nineteenth-Century Dance (Salzburg, 28-30 November 2019), which was realized on the initiative of Francesca Falcone as a transnational cooperation among university and non-university dance institutions in Italy, France, and Austria: AIRDanza (Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sulla Danza), aCD (association des Chercheurs en Danse), and the Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg (Fachbereich Kunst-, Musik- und Tanzwissenschaft). Following the symposium Danza e ballo a Napoli: Un dialogo con l'Europa (1806-1861) (Naples 2017)1, researchers with diverse scholarly and artistic backgrounds from Europe and the United States gathered to address the multifaceted spectrum of nineteenth-century dance cultures.
