This book considers arousal as a mode of theoretical and artistic
inquiry to encourage new ways of staging and examining bodies in
performance across artistic disciplines, modern history, and
cultural contexts. Looking at traditional drama and theatre, but
also visual arts, performance activism, and arts-based community
engagement, this collection draws on the complicated relationship
between arousing images and the frames of their representability to
address what constitutes arousal in a variety of connotations. It
examines arousal as a project of social, scientific, cultural, and
artistic experimentation, and discusses how our perception of
arousal has transformed over the last century. Probing "what
arouses" in relation to the ethics of representation, the book
investigates the connections between arousal and pleasures of
voyeurism, underscores the political impact of aroused bodies, and
explores how arousal can turn the body into a mediated object.
