In this book, Erika Fischer-Lichte traces the emergence of
performance as 'an art event' in its own right. In setting
performance art on an equal footing with the traditional art
object, she heralds a new aesthetics.
The peculiar mode of experience that a performance provokes
blurring distinctions between artist and audience, body and mind,
art and life is here framed as the breeding ground for a new way of
understanding performing arts, and through them even wider social
and cultural processes.
With an introduction by Marvin Carlson, this translation of the
original sthetik des Performativen addresses key issues in
performance art, experimental theatre and cultural performances to
lay the ground for a new appreciation of the artistic event.
