Exhausting Dance
The only scholarly book in English dedicated to recent European contemporary dance, Exhausting Dance: Performance and the Politics of Movement examines the work of key contemporary choreographers who have transformed the dance scene since the early 1990s in Europe and the US. Through their vivid and explicit dialogue with performance art, visual arts and critical theory from the past thirty years, this new generation of choreographers challenge our understanding of dance by exhausting the concept of movement. Their work demands to be read as performed extensions of the radical politics implied in performance art, in post-structuralist and critical theory, in post-colonial theory, and in crit...
Turn to Film
Turn to Film: Film in the Business School offers creative and powerful uses of film in the business school classroom and surveys the pedagogical and performative value of watching films with students. This volume examines not only how film offers opportunities for learning and investigation, but also how they can be sources of ideological poison, self-delusion and mis-representation. Throughout the text, renowned contributors embrace film’s power to embark on new adventures of thought by inventing images and signs, and by bringing novel concepts and fresh perspectives to the classroom. If film often reveals organizational dysfunctionality and absurdity, it also teaches us to understand the other, to see difference, and to accept experimentation. A wide spectra of films are examined for their pedagogical value in terms of what can be learned, explored and discussed by teaching with film and how film can be used as a tool of research and investigation. The book sees film in the classroom as an educational challenge wherein rich learning and personal development are encouraged.

Artes da cena contemporânea
Dança, performance, teatro. Artes da cena contemporânea, do corpo, do lien social, dos ritos e das celebrações, da rua, das transgressões e reproduções. Artes do imaginário, dos sentidos produzidos, das emoções construídas e expressas por meio de gestos, sons, movimentos, pausas, imagens. Esse é o campo pelo qual o livro Artes da cena contemporânea: corpos, imagens, potências transita, em uma perspectiva abrangente, de uma epistemologia compreensiva. Artes, sociologia, antropologia, comunicações, educação, psicanálise apoiam teoricamente as discussões e argumentos. O livro resulta do encontro entre pesquisadores interessados em desenvolver conhecimentos relativos ao corpo, à cultura e às artes da cena no Brasil contemporâneo. Nossos trabalhos têm a diversidade e intensidade de nossos trajetos, formações e experiências, e isso se reflete nas diferentes abordagens, epistemologias, técnicas que usamos para pesquisar. A diversidade de reflexões teóricas e aplicadas aqui integradas reafirmam a cena como campo aberto, capaz de incorporar elementos variados em sua lógica ritual, reconhecendo seu caráter heterogêneo e em contínua construção.
