Gross anatomy, the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unassisted vision, has long been a subject of fascination for artists. For most modern viewers, however, the anatomy lesson—the technically precise province of clinical surgeons and medical faculties—hardly seems the proper breeding ground for the hybrid workings of art and theory. We forget that, in its early stages, anatomy pursued the highly theatrical spirit of Renaissance science, as painters such as Rembrandt and Da Vinci and medical instructors like Fabricius of Aquapendente shared audiences devoted to the workings of the human body. Anatomy Live: Performance and the Operating Theatre, a remarkable consideration...
Slovenia gained its independence in 1991, and joined the European Union in 2004. This book, with its substantial introduction and four Slovene plays in translation, makes a unique contribution to an understanding of both the dramatic and theatrical history of this period of enormous political change in Slovenia. The Great Brilliant Waltz (1985) by Drago Jančar was written and produced when Slovenia was still part of the former Yugoslavia. This black comedy is set in the mental hospital 'Freedom Sets Free', a metaphor for the totalitarian society of the communist era. Draga Potočnjak is foremost among the few female playwrights in Slovenia. Based on real events, The Noise Animals Make is Un...
Knjiga obravnava opus Dragana Živadinova iz političnega, umetniškega, tehnoznastvenega in filozofskega vidika (predvsem prek filozofij Gillesa Delleuza, Friedricha Nietzscheja in Michela Foucaulta), in sicer skozi vse tri razvojne faze njegovega gledališča: Scipion Nasice (1983-1987), Rdeči pilot (1987-1990) in Noordung (1990-1995-2045). V središču zanimanja Živadinova je gledalec oziroma mehanizem njegove vključenosti v predstavo, zaradi česar so pri postgravitacijski umetnosti družbenopolitične, gledališkoumetniške in tehnoznanstvene strukture in strategije razumljene kot dispozitivi oziroma polja sil. Ne gre preprosto za režiranje gledaliških predstav, ampak za ustvarjanj...
"Unboxed : engagements in social space is a collection of critical essays about and by artists who work between and across the borders of art, architecture and performance. This collection is loosely based upon a lecture series that Gallery 101 and Carleton University School of Architecture co-hosted throughout the fall and winter of 2002-2003."--Page 11.

Subtitled "A Compendium of Phycho-Physiological Investigation," what you get in the Amok Journal's SENSURROUND EDITION is a collection of reports, articles and general research on autoerotic fatalities, trepanation, Gualtiero Jacopetti, cargo cults, Neue Slowenische Kunst, self-mutilation and amputee fetishism, infrasound and a collection of true emergency room reports called "Psych-Out." All of the material presented here is true. Some of it seems unbelievable but all the reports here are covering behaviors that these people were engaging in willingly (even some of the fatal ones) for the purpose of having some sort of heightened sensory experience. Nearly all of this behavior does NOT involve drugs, focusing more on altered experience through altered body state. Not for the easily squeamish. Despite the extreme subject matter, this volume is highly intelligent and an amazing psychological peek into the fringes of human experiences.
