Digital traces, whether digitized (programs, notebooks, drawings,
etc.) or born digital (emails, websites, video recordings, etc.),
constitute a major challenge for the memory of the ephemeral
performing arts. Digital technology transforms traces into data
and, in doing so, opens them up to manipulation. This paradigm
shift calls for a renewal of methodologies for writing the history
of theater today, analyzing works and their creative process, and
preserving performances. At the crossroads of performing arts
studies, the history, digital humanities, conservation and
archiving, these methodologies allow us to take into account what
is generally dismissed, namely, digital traces that are considered
too complex, too numerous, too fragile, of dubious authenticity,
etc. With the analysis of Merce Cunningham's digital traces as a
guideline, and through many other examples, this book is intended
for researchers and archivists, as well as artists and cultural
institutions.
