The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment
The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment investigates new forms of choreographic dramaturgy and interpretation inherent. Joining junior and senior scholars as well as practitioners in the field, the handbook shows how the recovery of past dances has come to constitute a new branch of contemporary choreographic activity.
Being in Contact: Encountering a Bare Body
This choreographed book is dedicated to the phenomenon of the bare body in contemporary performance. This work of artistic research draws on philosophical, biopolitical, and ethical discourses relevant to the appearance of bare bodies in choreography, setting a framework for a reflexive movement between affect and ethics, sensuous address and response. Acts of exposure and concealment are culturally situated and anchored, and are examined for their methodological and nanopolitical significance. The concepts of anarchic responsibility and choreo-ethics lead to a reevaluation of contact, relationship, and solidarity. Choreography is thus understood as a complex field of revelatory experiences based on ecologies of aesthetic perception and ethico-political agency.
Cinema and Intermediality (Second, Enlarged Edition)
One of the most comprehensive books to focus on the relationship between cinema and the other arts, this volume explores types and stylistic devices of intermediality through a wide range of case studies. It addresses major theoretical issues and highlights the relevance of intermedial relations in film history, mapping the theoretical field by outlining its main concepts and the research avenues pursued in the study of cinematic intermediality, including the most recent approaches and methodologies. It also presents some major templates of intermediality through various examples from world cinema, including closer looks at films by auteurs like Alfred Hitchcock, Michelangelo Antonioni, Jean-Luc Godard, and Agnès Varda. Supplemented by three new chapters dealing with phenomena which came into view since its first publication, the revised and enlarged edition of this ground-breaking volume will serve as a useful handbook to clarify key ideas and to offer insightful analyses.

Processing Choreography
Told from the perspective of the dancers, »Processing Choreography: Thinking with William Forsythe's Duo« is an ethnography that reconstructs the dancers' activity within William Forsythe's Duo project. The book is written legibly for readers in dance studies, the social sciences, and dance practice. Considering how the choreography of Duo emerged through practice and changed over two decades of history (1996-2018), Elizabeth Waterhouse offers a nuanced picture of creative cooperation and institutionalized process. She presents a compelling vision of choreography as a nexus of people, im/material practices, contexts, and relations. As a former Forsythe dancer herself, the author provides novel insights into this choreographic community.
Studio Culture
Innerhalb einer akustisch konfigurierten Architektur sind Audiotechnologien im Tonstudio zu einem komplexen Medienverbund verschaltet und bilden die apparative Struktur eines sound-ästhetischen Dispositivs. Maßgeblich in der Popkultur hat sich hier eine Fetischisierung des Soundmaterials und damit gleichzeitig auch der Apparate selbst entwickelt. Ästhetische Idealvorstellungen richten sich so auf ein (sonisches) Objektbegehren, das in Verbindung mit der Raumlogik der Produktionsorte oft eine eigene Semantik erzeugt. Ziel dieser Untersuchung ist es daher, das Tonstudio als einen durch die Struktur des Mediendispositivs bedingten Aktionsraum und Repräsentation einer klangkulturellen Ordnun...
Virtual Ecologies – Digitalitäten und Ökologien im Tanz
Neue Technologien und digitale Formate verändern die Praxis des Tanzens signifikant. Die Beiträge reflektieren wissenschaftlich und künstlerisch Phänomene wie Mixed Reality, Künstliche Intelligenz, Tanztrends in den sozialen Medien oder (digitale) Archivierungen und bringen sie mit Fragen des Ökologischen in Zusammenhang, indem sie historische und aktuelle Ansätze künstlerischen Arbeitens vor dem Hintergrund sozio-ökologischer Abhängigkeitssysteme betrachten. Im Spannungsverhältnis von »Digitalitäten« und »Ökologien« werden so zukünftige Potentiale für die Zusammenarbeit im Tanz sichtbar.
Constructions of Cultural Identities in Newsreel Cinema and Television after 1945
Newsreel cinema and television not only served as an important tool in the shaping of political spheres and the construction of national and cultural identities up to the 1960s. Today's potent televisual forms were furthermore developed in and strongly influenced by newsreels, and much of the archived newsreel footage is repeatedly used to both illustrate and re-stage past events and their significance. This book addresses newsreel cinema and television as a medium serving the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts after 1945, its role in forming audiovisual narratives of a »biopic of the nation«, and the technical, aesthetical, and political challenges of archiving and restaging cinematic and televisual newsreel.

Choreografien des Taktilen
Beim Besuch einer Tanzaufführung berührt zu werden und sich selbst bewegen zu können: Solche taktilen choreografischen Formate waren bislang nicht Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Dominika Cohn analysiert erstmals deren ästhetische Wahrnehmungsdimensionen jenseits des Visuellen. Dabei macht sie deutlich, dass sowohl die Tradition des Theaters als Schauraum als auch die abendländischen Ästhetikdiskurse auf einem Primat des Sehens beruhen, das mit Machtstrukturen verknüpft ist. Taktile Choreografie verhält sich dazu widerständig, sie praktiziert ein tastendes Denken – und weist in ihrer politischen Dimension feministische, postkoloniale und posthumane Anknüpfungspunkte auf.
