The Bodies We Are (Not)
In Western neo-liberal society, the human body is increasingly used as an »identity project« and »designable object«. Antje Velsinger investigates these specific roles of the body and develops choreographic strategies for becoming unfamiliar to the own self and play as two means for emancipating the body from the neo-liberal imperative of optimization and control. Theoretical and practical artistic perspectives are in constant dialogue throughout this study. It uses the choreographic field as a gray area between theory and practice to imagine, propose, and rehearse an alternative approach to the body.

X-ray Standing Wave Technique, The: Principles And Applications
The X-ray standing wave (XSW) technique is an X-ray interferometric method combining diffraction with a multitude of spectroscopic techniques. It is extremely powerful for obtaining information about virtually all properties of surfaces and interfaces on the atomic scale. However, as with any other technique, it has strengths and limitations. The proper use and necessary understanding of this method requires knowledge in quite different fields of physics and technology. This volume presents comprehensively the theoretical background, technical requirements and distinguished experimental highlights of the technique. Containing contributions from the most prominent experts of the technique, such as Andre Authier, Boris Batterman, Michael J Bedzyk, Jene Golovchenko, Victor Kohn, Michail Kovalchuk, Gerhard Materlik and D Phil Woodruff, the book equips scientists with all the necessary information and knowledge to understand and use the XSW technique in practically all applications.

The Operas of Alessandro Scarlatti, Volume VIII: Tigrane
Donald Jay Grout's widely praised edition of the work of a key figure in the history of opera provides the most reliable version of the score for each opera, appending a translation of the libretto. These volumes are "at once practical and unquestionably scholarly" in the words of Opera Journal. A tale of love and honor in the opera seria tradition, Tigrane was first performed at Naples in 1715. This edition of it will please performance groups and music historians alike.
Künste des Anhaltens
Wie werden Prozesse in den zeitgenössischen Künsten stillgestellt? Lässt sich eine Performance anhalten? Und kann Kunst streiken? Entgegen gängiger Selbstbestimmungen von moderner Zeit als unendlichem Fortschritt und technischer Beschleunigung fragt der Sammelband nach alternativen Zeitformen in den Künsten. In der Unterbrechung, der Stillstellung, dem Innehalten oder der Pause zeigen sich kritisch-utopische Suchmomente eines anderen Umgangs mit Zeit. Dazu gehören stumme Posen, Tableaux Vivants, endlose Wiederholungen, Dehnungen oder das Ausstellen müßiger Unproduktivität. Künste des Anhaltens. Ästhetische Verfahren des Stillstellens versammelt Beiträge aus Theater- und Tanzwissenschaft, Musikwissenschaft, Filmwissenschaft, Kunstwissenschaft, Philosophie und Soziologie im Fokus auf drei Aspekte: die Verlangsamung als Mittel der Zeitdehnung und Intensivierung, das Anhalten oder Pausieren als Modus-, Medien- und Tempuswechsel und der Streik als ästhetische und gesellschaftliche Zäsur.
Performing Arts in Transition
Artists especially from dance and performance art as well as opera are involved to an increasing degree in the transfer between different media, not only in their productions but also the events, materials, and documents that surround them. At the same time, the focus on that which remains has become central to any discussion of performance. Performing Arts in Transition explores what takes place in the moments of transition from one medium to another, and from the live performance to that which "survives" it. Case studies from a broad range of interdisciplinary scholars address phenomena such as: The dynamics of transfer between the performing and visual arts. The philosophy and terminologies of transitioning between media. Narratives and counternarratives in historical re-creations. The status of chronology and the document in art scholarship. This is an essential contribution to a vibrant, multidisciplinary and international field of research emerging at the intersections of performance, visual arts, and media studies.
