Back Stages
Shannon Jackson explores a range of disciplinary, institutional, and political puzzles that engage the social and aesthetic practice of performance in this collection of twenty essential essays spanning her career. Back Stages starts by considering the historical connection between performance practice and movements of social reform, while later writings analyze disciplinary debates on the place of performance in higher education and within the contemporary field of socially engaged art, tracking fraught and allied relationships to literary studies, art history, visual culture, theater, social theory, and critical theory. At a time of increased aesthetic experimentation and political debate ...

The 1960s saw Whitman become highly inte...

Hexensommer
Sie flogen Besen an Besen. Anne saß gerade, mit flatterndem Wolltuch; krumm hockte die Großmutter, wieder mit wehendem Haar, die Ähnlichkeit zwischen ihnen war unverkennbar. Bringst du mich dorthin, wo du mein Spiegelbild getroffen hast? Die Alte lachte auf. Stell dir das nicht so einfach vor, rief sie. Wenn du es nicht allein findest, kannst du’s niemals festhalten. Sah's selbst nur für Sekunden. Dann zersprang es in tausend Scherben. Die wirst du suchen müssen. Und zusammenfügen. Aber das wird dir nicht gelingen, wenn du nichts anderes suchst als dies.
