A collaboration between well-established and rising scholars,
Futures of Dance Studies suggests multiple directions for new
research in the field. Essays address dance in a wider range of
contexts - onstage, on screen, in the studio, and on the street -
and deploy methods from diverse disciplines. Engaging African
American and African diasporic studies, Latinx and Latin American
studies, gender and sexuality studies, and Asian American and Asian
studies, this anthology demonstrates the relevance of dance
analysis to adjacent fields.
Re: Direction is an extraordinary resource for practitioners and students on directing. It provides a collection of ground-breaking interviews, primary sources and essays on 20th century directing theories and practices around the world. Helpfully organized into four key areas of the subject, the book explores: * theories of directing * the boundaries of the director's role * the limits of categorization * the history of the theatre and performance art. Exceptionally useful and thought-provoking introductory essays by editors Schneider and Cody guide you through the wealth of materials included here. Re: Direction is the kind of book anyone interested in theatre history should own, and which will prove an indispensable toolkit for a lifetime of study.
'At last, the past has arrived Performing Remains is Rebecca
Schneider's authoritative statement on a major topic of interest to
the field of theatre and performance studies. It extends and
consolidates her pioneering contributions to the field through its
interdisciplinary method, vivid writing, and stimulating polemic.
Performing Remains has been eagerly awaited, and will be
appreciated now and in the future for its rigorous investigations
into the aesthetic and political potential of reenactments.' -
Tavia Nyong'o, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University
'I have often wondered where the big, important,
paradigm-changing book about re-enactment is: Schneider's book
seems to me to be that book. Her work is challenging, thoughtful
and innovative and will set the agenda for study in a number of
areas for the next decade.' - Jerome de Groot, University of
Manchester
Performing Remains is a dazzling new study exploring the role of
the fake, the false and the faux in contemporary performance.
Rebecca Schneider argues passionately that performance can be
engaged as what remains, rather than what disappears.
Across seven essays, Schneider presents a forensic and unique
examination of both contemporary and historical performance,
drawing on a variety of elucidating sources including the "America"
plays of Linda Mussmann and Suzan-Lori Parks, performances of
Marina Abramovic and Allison Smith, and the continued popular
appeal of Civil War reenactments. Performing Remains questions the
importance of representation throughout history and today, while
boldly reassessing the ritual value of failure to recapture the
past and recreate the "original."
The Explicit Body in Performance interrogates the avant-garde precedents and theoretical terrain that combined to produce feminist performance art. Among the many artists discussed are: * Carolee Schneemann * Annie Sprinkle * Karen Finley * Robbie McCauley * Ana Mendieta * Ann Magnuson * Sandra Bernhard * Spiderwoman Rebecca Schneider tackles topics ranging across the 'post-porn modernist movement', New Right censorship, commodity fetishism, perspectival vision, and primitivism. Employing diverse critical theories from Benjamin to Lacan to postcolonial and queer theory, Schneider analyses artistic and pop cultural depictions of the explicit body in late commodity capitalism. The Explicit Body in Performance is complemented by extensive photographic illustrations and artistic productions of postmodern feminist practitioners. The book is a fascinating exploration of how these artists have wrestled with the representational structures of desire. eBook available with sample pages: 0203421078

Im vorliegenden Buch werden Wissensentwicklungsprozesse von
Schüler*innen der Grundschule bei der Bearbeitung empirischer
Settings untersucht und dabei eine Beschreibung des für die
Schüler*innen rekonstruierbaren mathematischen Wissens
vorgenommen. Zur Untersuchung wird ein erkenntnistheoretisches
Instrumentarium eingesetzt, welches das Konzept der Subjektiven
Erfahrungsbereiche mit dem Konzept der empirischen Theorien
verbindet und die Grundlage für die hier gewonnen Erkenntnisse
darstellt. Am Beispiel des Maßstabsbegriff wird aufgezeigt, dass
zahlreiche klassische Aufgabenstellungen eine Quantifizierung
maßstabsgetreuer Längen fokussieren, die für Schülerinnen und
Schüler der Grundschule jedoch problematisch ist. Darüber hinaus
wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern eine durch die Lehrkraft eingenommene
Erwartungshaltung an die Bearbeitungswege von Schülerinnen und
Schülern Wissensentwicklungsprozesse beeinflussen kann und welche
Bedeutung der physikalischen Repräsentation empirischer Objekte
für die Wissensentwicklung von Schülerinnen und Schüler der
Grundschule zukommt.

This provocative book meets the supposedly 'live' practices of
performance and the 'no-longer-live' historical past at their own
dangerous crossroads. Focussing on the 'and' of the title, it
addresses the tangled relations between the terms, practices,
ideas, and aims embedded in these compatriot - but often
oppositional - arts and acts of time.
