Letzter Weckruf für Europa
Mitte März 2020. Der Höhepunkt der Corona-Krise ist noch nicht erreicht, da gibt es für viele schon einen Schuldigen: die Europäische Union. Obwohl diese kaum gesundheitliche Kompetenzen hat, bedienen nationale Regierungschefs der radikalen rechten Lager Ressentiments gegen die EU. Das Virus trifft Europa in einer schwierigen Lage: Im Handelskrieg zwischen den USA und China schaut die EU hilflos zu, muss aber unter den Auswirkungen leiden. Für Donald Trump ist Europa kein Partner mehr, sondern ein Konkurrent auf dem Weltmarkt. Präsident Macron hält die NATO für "hirntot", im Nahen Osten ist die EU ein Beobachter und in ehemaligen Ostblock-Staaten wie Ungarn und Polen entstehen autoritäre Regime, die mit den Werten der EU nichts mehr zu tun haben wollen. Der Streit um das künftige Budget der EU eskaliert: Corona-Bonds, also gemeinsame Schulden, wollen die Südländer; Österreich und andere lehnen das ab. So mahnt uns das Virus, das friedliche Europa zu erhalten – auch um zu verhindern, dass in einer zerfallenden EU historische Konflikte aufbrechen.
Theatre, Performance, and Memory Politics in Argentina
Since Argentina's transition to democracy, the expression of human fragility on the stage has taken diverse forms. This book examines the intervention of theatre and performance in the memory politics surrounding Argentina's return to democracy and makes a case for performance's transformative power.
Ungoverning Dance
Ungoverning Dance examines recent contemporary dance in continental Europe. Placing this in the context of neoliberalism and austerity, it argues that dancers are developing an ethico-aesthetic approach that uses dance practices as sites of resistance against dominant ideologies. It attests to the persistence of alternative ways of thinking and living.
Independent Theatre in Contemporary Europe
Over the past 20 years European theatre underwent fundamental changes in terms of aesthetic focus, institutional structure and in its position in society. The impetus for these changes was provided by a new generation in the independent theatre scene. This book brings together studies on the state of independent theatre in different European countries, focusing on the fields of dance and performance, children and youth theatre, theatre and migration and post-migrant theatre. Additionally, it includes essays on experimental musical theatre and different cultural policies for independent theatre scenes in a range of European countries.
Singular Plural Ways of Staging Together
Focusing on staging processes in contemporary dance and art performance creates new opportunities to study creative participation and co-authorship. To gain these new insights, Iris Julian analyses experimental projects initiated by two groups and a single choreographer: Collect-if by Collect-if, Deufert + Plischke and Xavier Le Roy. By exploring nuances of staging work, the concept of singular plural became the analytical guideline and resulted into three research perspectives: theatre studies, sociology and ontological reading (Jean-Luc Nancy, Michaela Ott, Gerald Raunig). This approach makes it possible to look beyond the importance that is often credited to single authorship in the arts. With a foreword by Prof. Dr. Gerald Siegmund.
Artist at Work, Proximity of Art and Capitalism
The main affirmation of artistic practice must today happen through thinking about the conditions and the status of the artist's work. Only then can it be revealed that what is a part of the speculations of capital is not art itself, but mostly artistic life. Artist at Work examines the recent changes in the labour of an artist and addresses them from the perspective of performance.
Breathe - Critical Research into the Inequalities of Life
Breathing is an unavoidable, vital act, yet it cannot be taken for granted, as the experiences of the pandemic, profound changes in our environment, but also structural, racist discrimination make clear. In the physical act of breathing, we are symbolically, materially and radically thrown back to our own bodies and connected to the bodies of others. In conversation with artists and theorists from different fields, the contributers to this volume explore different acts of suffocation and release. They show how the protection of bodies is unequally and ambivalently distributed and how it can be an act of resistance. It is an insistence on life, a demand for existential, political, symbolic and ethical recognition.
