Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An introduction to pedagogy of dissensus. A pedagogy of dissensus is informed by the dissensual characteristics of art. The book includes both theoretical foundations and examples of how the theory is unfolded in different contexts ranging from educational practice to arts-based research. Motivated by the author's long-held interest in the role of art in society in general and education in particular, it is a vital new contribution to arts-based approaches to education. Referencing philosophers and theorists such as Jacques Rancière, Gert Biesta, Dennis Atkinson, and Helga Eng, Lisbet Skregelid demonstrates why art matters because of its ability to create necessary disturbance and resistance in education. In this book, she argues that art has something to offer education because it challenges existing norms, has no definitive answers, and contributes to new ways of seeing both oneself, others, and one's surroundings. Placing art at the center and enabling dissensus in education can contribute as a contrast to the dominating policy led by economic ambition and competition.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cultural politics in women's performance art. This book uses the work of British live artist and Showwoman Marisa Carnesky to showcase women working in radical ways. The term 'Showwoman' introduces a new identity--a performer who does not control or exploit others but opens up a possibility for collaboration that enables shared experience. As Obsessions of a Showwoman explores this concept, it traces a trajectory of incredible and weird women at work, including showgirls, hairhangers, fire walkers, animal mesmerists, and more. Carnesky has been a central figure in performance and live art in the last thirty years, and her practice as a Showwoman promotes alternative visions of matriarchal entertainment utopias and a new relationship to women's position in power and politics. Carnesky continues an important lineage of performing women with bombastic theatrical flair whose extraordinary skill and artistry are often overlooked. Exploring contemporary and historical performance in popular and marginal entertainment forms, this work treads the margins of cabaret and live art, disrupts normative ideologies through the spectacular, and opens new lines of feminist inquiry through weirdness, absurdity, and provocation in live art and popular culture.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How archives perform and live performance is archived. Emerging from the first retrospective exhibition of performance art icon Jess Dobkin, this book reflects on the internationally acclaimed artist's playful and provocative practice as a performer, curator, and community activist. At the same time, it grapples with a vital question for art and performance studies: How do archives perform More than a discrete showing of a single artist's work, the exhibition, including its new staging in book form, is a large-scale research experiment in performance curation that investigates how art institutions can address the embodied and communal nature of performance art in their practices of archiving and museological display. In Jess Dobkin's Wetrospective, copublished with the Art Gallery of York University, renowned international performance scholars and artists dive into this exploration alongside exhibition curator Emelie Chhangur, performance theorist and dramaturg Laura Levin, and Dobkin herself. These contributions are visually aided by a riot of full-color photographs, providing unparalleled access to Dobkin's celebrated artistic productions from the last thirty years.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An artistic material encounter with costumes from the archive of iconic British choreographer Lea Anderson. In Smithereens offers new strategies to understand performances through their material remnants, suggesting alternative ways in which these arguably haunted costumes can live on as ghosts inside and outside of the archive. What happens to contemporary dance costumes when the show is over and their surrounding legacy slips from view How might costumes be mobilized towards representational repair, post-performance Located within Lea Anderson's choreographic archive, this book charts a series of hands-on interventions with the fabric remains of her companies The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs. Centered on practices of disintegration, preservation, transaction, and display, this book offers provocative modes of engaging with the physical leftovers of performance, the degrading of memory and legacy around pre-digital theater work, and the temporal material transitions of artefacts enduring outside of traditional museological contexts. How might we regard these mercurial items As precious relics to be protected in museum holdings, ghostly harbingers of residual performance histories, or inconvenient detritus The book travels from propsmakers' studios to auction houses and galleries, incorporating filmmaking, artifact handling, and curation along the way, in lively dialogue with perspectives from dance history, material culture, sociology, and performance studies. The choreographic archive is envisioned as repository of the awkward, scattered remains of legacy blown apart into fragments. Smithereens, which can, if we allow them, demand an alternative after-life that disrupts the vanishing inflicted on these costumes and the companies who danced in them.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An investigation of the absurd as a condition of, a tactic for, and a subject in the contemporary. The absurd is a lens on the disturbances of our moment and a challenge to the propositions about and solutions for the world. The absurd shakes off the paralysis that what we know must be the only thing we (re)produce. Those willing to recognize that truth and confront it, rather than flee from it, are thereby introduced to the political writ large. Critical art allows the absurd a space within which audiences can observe their own tendencies and assumptions. The absurd in art reveals our inculcation into hegemonic belief structures and the necessity to question the systems to which we subscribe. Today we see the absurd in memes, performative politics, and art, expressing the confusion and disorientation wrought by the endless, emerging crises of our 24/7 relations. This edited collection, featuring contributions by well-known artists and scholars, adopts ideas and practices associated with the absurd to explain how the contemporary moment is absurd and how absurdity is a useful, potentially radical tool within the contemporary.…
