How do ideas take shape? How do concepts emerge into form? This
book argues that they take shape quite literally in the human body,
often appearing on stage in new styles of performance. Focusing on
the historical period of modernity, Performance and Modernity:
Enacting Change on the Globalizing Stage demonstrates how the
unforeseen impact of economic, industrial, political, social, and
psychological change was registered in bodily metaphors that took
shape on stage. In new styles of performance-acting, dance, music,
pageantry, avant-garde provocations, film, video and networked
media-this book finds fresh evidence for how modernity has been
understood and lived, both by stage actors, who, in modelling new
habits, gave emerging experiences an epistemological shape, and by
their audiences, who, in borrowing the strategies performers
enacted, learned to adapt to a modernizing world.
