"Contesting Performance" is a unique and dynamic collection of essays by leading international scholars that addresses the global development of cultural performance research. The volume functions as a critical reader on diverse, localised approaches to studying performance, using case studies from Mexico, Australia, Japan, Israel and Croatia, amongst others. Featuring contributors such as Freddie Rokem, Shannon Jackson, Lauren Kruger and Sharon Aronson-Lehavi, this landmark collection will also reveal networks of practical and theoretical concerns that contest dominant models of performance studies.
Ludwig Wittgenstein loved movies, and based on his remarks on watching them, there is a strong connection between his experience of watching films and his thoughts on aesthetics. Furthermore, however, Wittgenstein himself has been invoked in recent cinema. Wittgenstein at the Movies is centered on in-depth explorations of two intriguing experimental films on Wittgenstein: Derek Jarman's Wittgenstein and Peter Forgacs' Wittgenstein Tractatus. The featured essays look at cinematic interpretations of Wittgenstein's life and philosophy in a manner bound to provoke the lively interest of Wittgenstein scholars, film theorists, and students of film aesthetics. As well, the book engages a broader audience concerned with philosophical issues about film and Wittgenstein's cultural significance, with the world of fin-de-siecle Vienna, of Cambridge in the first half of the twentieth century, of artistic modernism.
