This book assembles the contributions to the international
symposium Narrativity and Intermediality on the Contemporary Stage
in Montpellier 2016. The symposium was based on the hypothesis
that, despite the rise of performative and postdramatic theatre and
a subsequent abandonment of the plot, theatre performances tell
stories after all. The variety of positions in this book now
discuss and reflect the relation between narration, theatre and
intermediality nowadays. Ce livre rassemble les actes du Colloque
international Narrativite & Intermedialite sur la scene
contemporaine, manifestation qui s'est tenue a Montpellier en 2016.
Les contributions reunies dans cet ouvrage ont trait aux modalites
par lesquelles la scene contemporaine, qu'elle soit theatrale,
choregraphique ou performative, continue de produire du recit.
Depuis l'analyse des oeuvres, et dans un dialogue avec les
artistes, elles se consacrent aux interrogations qui relevent de
l'intermedialite.
This study is the first monograph on the work of French
choreographer Jerome Bel, following his artistic trajectory from
the beginning of his career as a choreographer in 1994 to his most
recent piece in 2016. It contains an overview and in-depth analysis
of all of his choreographies, from Nom donne par l'auteur to
Disabled Theatre, and provides a theoretical reflection on their
theatrical nature. Bel has developed a singular discourse on dance
that has often been labelled 'conceptual'. By reducing the stage
elements in his performances to a minimum, his work explores the
implications of dance as an art form that has, since the heyday of
modernism, based its guiding principles on the laws of nature. Bel
addresses the question of power relations in dance by working
through the questions of authorship and various forms of
subjectivity dance produces. Offering a unique opportunity to
ground seemingly abstract academic theories in a specific embodied
artistic practice, this study explores the intersection between
artistic practice and theory.
Marking the 20th anniversary of Belgium's Kunstenfestivaldesarts-a
major international arts festival-this ambitious book examines a
wide range of critical perspectives on two decades of performing
arts. The authors look closely at performing arts pieces from
around the world to see what critiques and insights they reveal
about society. Among the topics that these works address are the
dialogue between history and memory, the development of a sense of
community, the interplay between fiction and reality, and the fine
line between a spectator and a witness. In addition to featuring
images of the performances, the book includes texts by the artists
themselves, sketches, photos, and writings by prominent figures in
the fields of philosophy and sociology. The Time We Share attempts
to build a global overview of the relationship between performing
arts and society and determine how different performances helped
shape international thought surrounding specific issues and ideas.

Die Normen, Strategien und Regierungsformen des Theaters genauso
kenntlich zu machen wie sein Ereignis, seinen UEberschuss oder sein
Scheitern - das ist die Herausforderung, die sich mit Michel
Foucaults Dispositiv-Konzept fur jede Betrachtung des Theaters
stellt. Der Band "Theater als Dispositiv" versammelt Beitrage aus
Philosophie, Soziologie, Theologie, Medien-, Film- und
Theaterwissenschaft, die alle auf Foucault antworten, indem sie je
unterschiedlich die Ordnung der Auffuhrung in ihrer historischen
Dynamik, vor allem aber im Hinblick auf Dysfunktion, Fiktion und
Wissen skizzieren. Das antike, das moderne und das zeitgenoessische
Theater finden darin ebenso ihren Auftritt wie die Illusion oder
die Szenographie, Kleist und Kubrick, die Figur des Harlekins oder
das Theater der Theorie.
Wenn in Bezug auf Theater vom Als-ob die Rede ist, denkt man in der
Regel nicht ans zeitgenoessische Theater. Schliesslich ist gegen
das sogenannte "Illusionstheater", mit dem diese Rede fur
gewoehnlich assoziiert wird, seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts
einiges unternommen worden. Zahlreiche Beispiele zeigen jedoch,
dass das Als-ob keineswegs obsolet geworden ist. Illusion, mitunter
auch Tauschung, ist im zeitgenoessischen Theater Realitat - auch
dort, wo es nicht um die Darstellung fiktiver Realitaten geht,
sondern um die Auseinandersetzung mit der Realitat der
Auffuhrungssituation als solcher. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes gehen
verschiedenen Realitaten der Illusion im zeitgenoessischen Theater
nach und fragen nach den Konsequenzen, die sich daraus fur die
Theaterwissenschaft ergeben.
Auf innovative Weise untersucht die Autorin die Kartographie als
spezifische historische Inszenierungspraxis vor dem Hintergrund der
Welt als Buhne im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert. Wen oder was inszenieren
fruhneuzeitliche Himmelskarten? Wie prasentieren sie den neuen
astronomischen Himmel? Himmelskartographischen Werken der Fruhen
Neuzeit fallt als Theatri eine besondere Rolle bei der Sammlung und
Darstellung von Wissen zu. Im Zusammentreffen von
Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Kartographiegeschichte und
Theaterwissenschaften offenbart sich ein Paradox im Goldenen
Zeitalter der Himmelskartographie: Wachsende astronomische
Wissensbestande fuhren zu sinkender kartographischer
Darstellbarkeit. So liegt der besondere Reiz der Karten in der
theatralen Vermittlungsleistung zwischen diesen Polen.
In recent decades, dance has become a vehicle for querying
assumptions about what it means to be embodied, in turn
illuminating intersections among the political, the social, the
aesthetical, and the phenomenological. The Oxford Handbook of Dance
and Politics edited by internationally lauded scholars Rebekah
Kowal, Gerald Siegmund, and the late Randy Martin presents a
compendium of newly-commissioned chapters that address the
interdisciplinary and global scope of dance theory - its political
philosophy, social movements, and approaches to bodily difference
such as disability, postcolonial, and critical race and queer
studies. In six sections 30 of the most prestigious dance scholars
in the US and Europe track the political economy of dance and
analyze the political dimensions of choreography, of writing
history, and of embodied phenomena in general. Employing years of
intimate knowledge of dance and its cultural phenomenology,
scholars urge readers to re-think dominant cultural codes, their
usages, and the meaning they produce and theorize ways dance may
help to re-signify and to re-negotiate established cultural
practices and their inherent power relations. This handbook poses
ever-present questions about dance politics-which aspects or
effects of a dance can be considered political? What possibilities
and understandings of politics are disclosed through dance? How
does a particular dance articulate or undermine forces of
authority? How might dance relate to emancipation or bondage of the
body? Where and how can dance articulate social movements,
represent or challenge political institutions, or offer insight
into habits of labor and leisure? The handbook opens its critical
terms in two directions. First, it offers an elaborated
understanding of how dance achieves its politics. Second, it
illustrates how notions of the political are themselves expanded
when viewed from the perspective of dance, thus addressing both the
relationship between the politics in dance and the politics of
dance. Using the most sophisticated theoretical frameworks and
engaging with the problematics that come from philosophy, social
science, history, and the humanities, chapters explore the
affinities, affiliations, concepts, and critiques that are inherent
in the act of dance, and questions about matters political that
dance makes legible.
