Download or read book Choreography Invisible written by Anna Pakes and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance is often considered an ephemeral art, one that disappears nearly as soon as it materializes, leaving no physical object behind. While most cultural works are tangible, like books in print and framed artworks on display, the practice of dance remains more elusive. Dance involves peopletrying to embody some abstract, unwritten thing that exists before - and survives beyond - their particular acts of dancing. But what exactly is that thing? For that matter, what is a dance? And do dances continue to exist when not performed? Anna Pakes seeks to answer these questions and more inthis exciting new volume, which investigates what sort of thing dance really is.Focusing on Western theater dance, Choreography Invisible: The Disappearing Work of Dance explores the metaphysics of dance and choreographic works. The volume traces the different ways dances have been conceptualized across time, through such lenses as the cultural theory of Derrida, the philosophyof Ranciere and Baidou, and contemporary dance theory. It examines how dances have survived through time, and what it means for a dance work to be forgotten and lost. In her exploration of the amorphous and fleeting nature of dance as a cultural object, Pakes ultimately transforms the way weunderstand the very nature of art.

Download or read book Choreography and Corporeality written by Thomas F. DeFrantz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book renews thinking about the moving body by drawing on dance practice and performance from across the world. Eighteen internationally recognised scholars show how dance can challenge our thoughts and feelings about our own and other cultures, our emotions and prejudices, and our sense of public and private space. In so doing, they offer a multi-layered response to ideas of affect and emotion, culture and politics, and ultimately, the place of dance and art itself within society. The chapters in this collection arise from a number of different political and historical contexts. By teasing out their detail and situating dance within them, art is given a political charge. That charge is informed by the work of Michel Foucault, Stuart Hall, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Rancière and Luce Irigaray as well as their forebears such as Spinoza, Plato and Freud. Taken together, Choreography and Corporeality: RELAY in Motion puts thought into motion, without forgetting its origins in the social world.

Download or read book Performance written by Hanna B Hölling and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on performance and performance-based artworks as seen through the lens of conservation, which has long been overlooked in the larger theoretical debates about whether and how performance remains. Unraveling the complexities involved in the conservation of performance, Performance: The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care (vol. 1) brings this new understanding to bear in examining performance as an object of study, experience, acquisition, and care. In so doing, it presents both theoretical frameworks and functional paradigms for thinking about—and enacting—the conservation of performance. Further, while the conservation of performance is undertheorized, performance is nevertheless increasingly entering the art market and the museum, meaning that there is an urgent need for discourse on how to care for these works long-term. In recent years, a few pioneering conservators, curators, and scholars have begun to create frameworks for the longterm care of performance. This volume presents, explicates, and contextualizes their work so that a larger discourse can commence. It will thus serve the needs of conservation students and professors, for whom literature on this subject is sorely needed. This interdisciplinary book thus implements a novel rethinking of performance that will challenge and revitalize its conception in many fields, such as art history, theater, performance studies, heritage studies, and anthropology.
