Staging Difficult Pasts
This collection of original essays brings together museum, theatre, and performance case studies with a focus on their distinctive and overlapping modes of producing memory for transnational audiences. Whether this is through narrative, object, embodied encounter or a combination of the three, this volume considers distinctions and interactions between memory and history specifically through the lenses of theatre and performance studies, visual culture, and museum and curator studies. This book is underpinned by three areas of research enquiry: How are contemporary theatre makers and museum curators staging historical narratives of difficult pasts? How might comparisons between theatre and m...
Crisis and Communitas
This book is a critical, transdisciplinary examination of a broad range of philosophical ideas, theoretical concepts, and artistic projects of community in the 20th and 21st century in the context of global/local social and political changes. This volume opens new vitas by focusing on carefully selected instances of multipronged crises in which existing concepts of commonality are questioned, reformulated, or even speculatively designed with a (better) future in view. As many authors of this volume argue, in the face of today’s unprecedented global ecological and economic challenges speculative design is of utmost importance as it can foster alternative, unthought-of forms of connectivity ...
Joined Forces
Band 3 der von Florian Malzacher herausgegebenen englischsprachigen Reihe Performing Urgency. Im Kontext heutiger Politik, Wirtschaft und sich permanent verändernden kulturellen Trends kommt das traditionelle Theater mit seiner Trennung von aktiven Darstellern und passiven Zuschauern immer mehr aus der Mode. Zeitgenössische Künstler emanzipieren ihr Publikum, laden es auf die Bühne und in die Performance ein, beleidigen und provozieren es und erproben verschiedenste Techniken der Teilhabe. Das Buch verbindet zahlreiche Beispiele von Publikumsbeteiligung mit Problemen der Partizipation in Demokratie und sozial engagierter Kunst. The nineteenth century was a century of actors. The twentiet...
Intermedial Performance and Politics in the Public Sphere
This volume is a collection of scholarly articles and interviews with intermedial artists working with the concepts of public sphere at the intersection of aesthetics and politics. It explores the response of socially-engaged artistic practices to the current crisis in politics and media. It also critically examines urgent issues such as rampant nationalism and populism, expanding neoliberalism, the refugee crisis, growing inosculations of corporate and cyber culture, and the ongoing geopolitical changes in the Middle East. Can intermedial performances reflect the present artistic and political dilemmas in Europe and beyond? The collection provides theoretical frameworks that interrogate the...
Multimodality and Performance
The chapters in this book are the product of an international conference organised in Lisbon to mark the closure of the TKB project “A Transmedia Knowledge-Base for Performing Arts”. Under the title “Multimodal Communication: Language, Performance and Digital Media”, this conference provided a forum for researchers and artists from different research fields, interested in the study and documentation of the performing arts. The book offers contributions on issues of multimodality in human interaction and performance, embodied cognition and metaphor, gesture studies, video annotation for creative processes, and performance and digital media.
The Routledge Companion to Contemporary European Theatre and Performance
This is a comprehensive overview of contemporary European theatre and performance as it enters the third decade of the twenty-first century.

Employing a range of methodologies and critical approaches across its three parts and ninety-four chapters...

Kobe Bryant. Showman. Wydanie II
„Tylko jeden chłopiec na milion trafia do NBA” – zwrócił mu uwagę wychowawca. „Ale ja właśnie będę tym jednym z miliona” – odparł spokojnie 11-letni Kobe. Do najlepszej koszykarskiej ligi świata Kobe Bryant wdarł się niczym błyskawica w wieku zaledwie 17 lat. Chicago Bulls zdobyli właśnie czwarte mistrzostwo, kończąc sezon zasadniczy z rekordowym bilansem 72-10, a on mówił o Jordanie: „Zamierzam być lepszy od niego. – I dodawał: – Rodman by mnie nie zatrzymał!”. Jeszcze zanim trafił do NBA, podpisał z Adidasem kontrakt na 10 milionów dolarów. I choć początki nie były łatwe, to właśnie Kobe Bryant stał się nowym Królem Koszykówki, pomimo...
Młodzi niezdolni
Przewrotne hasło „młodzi niezdolni” nawiązuje do tradycji pokoleniowego grupowania reżyserów polskiego teatru. Pod tym hasłem kryją się w książce teksty o najzdolniejszych twórcach współczesnego teatru, poszerzone o portrety najważniejszych artystów współtworzących krajobraz polskiej sceny. Książka, na którą składają się recenzje i teksty problemowe, jest rodzajem przewodnika po złożonym świecie polskiego teatru współczesnego i próbą jego uporządkowania. Marcin Kościelniak jest krytykiem bardzo wrażliwym na to, co nowe, wyjątkowe, odmienne, specyficzne, czujnie wychwytującym zarówno indywidualne, oryginalne rysy twórczości artystów, jak i zmiany i...
