Most Recent IssueVolume 55 - Issue 3 - December 2023 (excerpt from Editors' Note) This DRJ issue converges around the theme of the trace and its role in the scholarly research process. Our interdisciplinary offerings here situate dance as the center of inquiry and discovery. Each of the five revelatory articles illuminates the novel application of a basic research method in humanistic studies, which is discovering a pattern and identifying a trace—the means of tracking that pattern over sets of data and/or the materials under investigation. In short, the articles we have assembled offer striking examples of how identifying something to trace can connect scholarly practice with evidentiary praxis. All the articles in this issue tangle with precedents, conventions, and prevailing notions—in short, cultural work and workings that hold structural and cognitive (intellectual) systems in place. Our authors organize their research around identifying and tracking such stabilizing factors as a way of unveiling contradictions and entanglements. (Rebekah J.
