New forms of art, culture and theory have recently emerged through
engagements with the realities of the social world and everyday
life, which are not primarily about representation but rather about
participation and narration. These new forms are based on viewer
responses and engagement, thus performatively creating open-ended
situations rather than autonomous works with closure. Performative
theory, drawing mostly on studies of speech acts, proves adequate
to describe and analyse these new forms of art and culture and
their engagement with the real. This book scrutinises a range of
contemporary works that experiment with viewer participation and
processuality within art and culture, as well as it takes issue
with theories of performativity and performance. 'Performative
Realism' contains contributions from leading Danish scholars
working within a broad range of academic fields such as Media
Studies, Art History, Theatre Studies and Cultural Studies. The
issues addressed covers Scandinavian as well as international
installation art, performance art, theatre, photography, movies,
literature and role-playing.
