The Politics of Form in Contemporary British Performance

Proper Theatre

Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility. Resisting dogma, the authors cast a critical eye on past and present practices as they argue for the feminist dramaturg's role in shaping a theatre company's sense of its production potential.

In their lively invocation of a feminist dramaturgy that can lead to innovative and challenging directions in modern theatre-making, Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility.   The authors begin by discussing what happens when a dramaturg's performance strategies are vastly different from what a director envisions. This discussion moves naturally to Hope and Kelly's analysis of canonical plays they hope to re-think in terms of gender at the same time that they resist the implication that a feminist perspective is a prescription for a political and social agenda. Casting a critical eye on "mainstream" approaches to classical plays, the authors revisit casting practices, editing philosophies, and directorial concepts that provide thin, stereotypical depictions of male and female characters, arguing for closer textual and cultural analyses of misguided ventures such as the Lysistrata Project. Their commentary on appeals to audience involvement highlights the difficulty of challenging audience preconceptions and the possibilities for expanding audience reception, while the counterproductive rigidity with which organizations like the Beckett estate resist new  approaches to theatrical production are exposed in a discussion of feminist dramaturgy's potential to reinvigorate a play like Waiting for Godot. Adventures in Dramaturgy concludes with the authors' personal journey to forge new directions within a specific theatre company and in the professional world at large.

Adventures in Feminist Dramaturgy

A comprehensive presentation of the Yale University Art Gallery's collection of Italian paintings from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century &nbsp; The collection of Italian paintings at the Yale University Art Gallery is one of the largest and richest in the world. The first of four volumes on the collection, this sumptuously illustrated book features over seventy-five works dating from 1230 to 1420 by artists such as Taddeo Gaddi, Andrea di Cione (better known as Orcagna), Lippo Memmi, Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, and Lorenzo Monaco. In addition to discussions of each painting's meaning, function, and significance, entries provide published references, provenance, full technical notes, and detailed conservation histories. An introduction by Laurence Kanter chronicles the history of the collection, from the James Jackson Jarves Collection that was assembled in the nineteenth century-the earliest formed collection of Italian paintings in any American museum-to more recent gifts by Louis and Hannah Rabinowitz and Richard Feigen. While many of the works are from Florence and Siena, the volume also includes examples from Bologna, Rimini, Venice, and more. Through its wide-ranging holdings, the Gallery's collection provides a remarkable sense of the diverse visual culture of the time. &nbsp; Distributed for the Yale University Art Gallery

What happens when a flatbed scanner is used for the photographic reproduction of three-dimensional objects? At first this machine seems like inappropriate technology for such a task, but it introduces a complex aesthetic phenomenon that reconsiders screen-based cultures of touch and vision. In her new book, Chantal Faust defines the flatbed scanner as a new photographic category, and uses case studies of esteemed artists such as Sarah Lucas and Andy Warhol to show how it creates images and simultaneously provides an original trajectory on which to read them. For Faust, the physicality of the scanning process involves an enquiry into the theoretical debates concerned with pleasure and affect, so that the scanner allows for the projection of fantasy and desire. Pleasure Machines then, represents a new generation of theory-practitioners: artists who practise art and theory simultaneously, so that the case studies privilege neither theory nor art, but combine both to reveal the book's true meaning.

Towards a Philosophy of Scanning

Pleasure Machines

Unter den hochtechnologischen Bedingungen der Gegenwart wird Materialität in Wissenschaft wie Kunst zunehmend als Agent aufgefasst, der jenseits bewusster menschlicher Wahrnehmung in ökologischen, digitalen oder neuronalen Umwelten angesiedelt ist. In diesem Zusammenhang bezeichnet der Begriff des nonconscious (N. Katherine Hayles) sowohl Formen computergestützter Erfahrung als auch neuronale körperliche Prozesse. Die Beiträge dieser interdisziplinären Publikation fragen nach den Konsequenzen des Nicht-Bewussten als Werkstoff und Vorstellung für ästhetische Praktiken. So öffnen sie insbesondere die an Vorstellungen von Reflexivität und Intentionalität orientierte Theorie, Geschichte und Praxis zeitgenössischer Kunst für neue kritische Lesarten. <ul> <li>Gibt es eine Kunst ohne Bewusstsein? </li> <li>Neue Lesarten von Theorie und Geschichte zeitgenössischer Kunst </li></ul>

Under the present day's highly technological conditions, materiality in science as well as art is perceived increasingly as an agent located beyond conscious human perception in ecological, digital or neuronal environments. In this context, the term nonconscious (N. Katherine Hayles) refers to forms of computer-based experience as well as neuronal bodily processes. The contributions to this interdisciplinary publication enquire into the consequences of the nonconscious as material and imagination for aesthetic practices. In particular, they encourage new critical readings of the theory, history and practice of contemporary art oriented towards notions of reflexivity and intentionality. <ul><li>Is there art without consciousness?</li><li>New interpretations of the theory and history of contemporary art</li></ul>

Beiträge zur technologischen Ästhetik der Gegenwart

Kunst ohne Bewusstsein?

Joss Marsh's stirring book traces the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, from its origins in Dickens's celebrity, through Dickens impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema and his enmeshment in the complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy - from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.

As Joss Marsh observes in her stirring book on Dickens and cinema, Dickens was the first mass-mediated photographic celebrity of the modern era, more intimately "familiar" than any person in Britain besides the royal family. Suggesting Dickens's celebrity, as much as his work, contributed to the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, Marsh begins with  J. J. E. Mayall's famous celebrity portraits to trace Dickens's impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema. At the same time, Marsh uncovers a larger issue: to understand Dickens's place in cinema is to understand his enmeshment in the whole complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy-from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.  Each of the six chapters unfolds a century-long cultural story that maps the Dickensian points of inspiration in the history of cinema. Marsh's cinematic geography of Dickensland transports the reader from Dickens's experiences with the early-Victorian portraitist's camera to Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder's remake of Great Expectations as a satire on the vampiric celebrity "celluloid self"; from actor-manager Martin-Harvey's 1899 manufacture of the "cast-iron" Victorian stage play to Dirk Bogarde's 1958 inheritance of the sacrificial gay role of Sydney Carton; from Charley Dickens Jnr.'s attempt to cash in on his father's knowledge of London to the history of production design as a medium of historical tourism and virtual experience; from Dickens's "impersonation" of Fagin, anti-Semitic and inherently theatrical, to the transformations of "the Jew" by Chaplin and David Lean and his musical apotheosis as magician and Pied Piper; from Dickens's 1868 return, in his last public reading, to the murder of Nancy to the contemporary slasher movie; and finally from the time travel enabled by the magic lantern's "dissolving views" through the role of Dickens's lantern-inspired Christmas tales of the 1840s in the lantern's development of pre-cinematic visual storytelling.  Informed by extensive archival research, deftly written, and beautifully illustrated, Joss Marsh's book shows film's fascination with Dickens was the trace of a persisting desire”fueled by decades of Dickensian impersonation and enabled by the medium's capacity to make still images live”to bring back the most extraordinary literary artist and personality of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries”to make Dickens live again.

SOAS Studies in Music

Musical improvisation is a complex form of creative human expression. In this book, Sabina Rakcheyeva explores the logical outcomes of performance, relating them to existing theories and expanding those theories with new findings. Rakcheyeva begins with an examination of the attributes of musical improvisation, how it is practised, its logic, the creativity of the process and the role of the audience in performance. The book's second half is devoted to a description of a performance-based research project involving the author, a violinist, and members of her ensemble. A self-referent endeavour involving cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary analyses, investigates aspects of improvisation in recent musical practice, juxtaposing this onto the author's own performance experience and elaborating, in particular, on how improvisation encapsulates processes of imagination, creation, and collaboration among musicians from different music backgrounds. Taking the music performance to a next stage, the author explores the ways of how musical collaboration as a tool of public engagement can contribute to promoting understanding and preventing and resolving conflict, in a search of methodology for improving the effectiveness of current practices

Music as Cultural Diplomacy: Using Improvisation as a Creative Tool

'The portrait of a fascinating, eccentric, and indomitable woman . . . an incandescent novel' Elle 'No author has yet captured Frida's tragic life in words as sensually and passionately as this' Grazia 'Claire Berest writes as captivatingly and vividly as Frida Kahlo painted' Paris Match WINNER OF ELLE FRANCE'S GRAND PRIX DES LECTRICES * Frida doesn't speak, she yells. She curses like a sailor and demonstrates with the communists on the streets of Mexico City. She likes drinking tequila, putting flowers in her hair, talking crudely about sex, and parties that wake the dead. Even when her body is wracked with pain, she paints. Frida suffered two terrible accidents in her life, one in which a streetcar knocked her down - the other accident was Diego Rivera. Her greatest vice. The love of her life. The most famous artist in Mexico. A man who is as hard to live with, as he is to be without. Translated into English for the first time, Claire Berest's award-winning novel is a striking fictional imagining of the vibrant life of one of the world's most enigmatic and beloved artists: Frida Kahlo.
