| 3 | Title: | Performing archives/archives of performance | | | | Creator: | Borggreen, Gunhild | Gade, Rune, 1964- | PSi (Organization) | Københavns universitet | | | | Notes: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 481-490). This book contributes to the ongoing critical discussions of performance and its disappearance, of the ephemeral and its reproduction, of archives and mediatized recordings of liveness. The many contributions by excellent scholars and artists from a broad range of interdisciplinary fields as well as from various locations in research geographies demonstrate that despite the extensive discourse on the relationship between performance and the archive, inquiry into the productive tensions between ephemerality and permanence is by no means outdated or exhausted. New ways of understanding archives, history, and memory emerge and address theories of enactment and intervention, while concepts of performance constantly proliferate and enable a critical focus on archival residue. The contributions in this book cover philosophical inquiries as well as discussions of specific art works, performances, and archives. | | | | Extent: | 495 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm | | | | Subjects: | Performing arts archives | Performing arts | Performing arts | Performing arts archives

"This is the first textbook designed for students, practitioners, and scholars of the performing arts who are curious about the power of the cognitive sciences to throw light on the processes of performance, It equips readers with a clear understanding of how research in cognitive neuroscience has illuminated and expanded traditional approaches to thinking about topics such as the performer, the spectator, space and time, cultur, and the text. Each chapter considers three layers of performance: conventional forms of theatre, performance art, and everyday life, offering an expansive vision of the impact of the cognitive sciences on performance in the widest sense"--Publisher description. | | | | Extent: | 198 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm. | | | | Subjects: | Theater -- Psychological aspects | Performing arts | Cognitive science | Cognitive science | Performing arts | Theater Psychological aspects
