Choreographing Dirt
This book is an innovative study that places performance and dance studies in conversation with ecology by exploring the significance of dirt in performance. Focusing on a range of 20th- and 21st-century performances that include modern dance, dance-theatre, Butoh, and everyday life, this book demonstrates how the choreography of dirt makes biological, geographical, and cultural meaning, what the author terms "biogeocultography". Whether it’s the Foundling Father digging into the earth’s strata in Suzan-Lori Park’s The America Play (1994), peat hurling through the air in Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring (1975), dancers frantically shovelling out fistfuls of dirt in Eveoke Dance Theat...

작은 것들이 만든 거대한 세계
“세상을 부패시키는 존재가 세계를 만든다” 인간의 상상을 초월하는 미시 세계의 잠재력을 탐구하다! 지구상에 존재하는 모든 생명의 근원은 바로 곰팡이, 즉 우리 눈에 잘 보이지 않는 작은 균에서 시작되었다. 곰팡이가 없었더라면 세상은 지금의 형태로 만들어지지 못했을 것이다. 개체수, 종수, 종의 나이 등에서 인류보다도 훨씬 압도적인 이 곰팡이라는 존재에 대해 우리는 아는 것이 거의 없다. 그러나 곰팡이가 지닌 능력과 잠재력은 인간의 상상을 초월한다. 곰팡이는 돌을 먹고 흙을 만들며, 식물을 자라게 하고 우주...
