As individuals incorporate new forms of media into their daily
routines, these media transform individuals' engagement with
networks of heterogeneous actors. Using the concept of media
practices, this volume looks at processes of social and political
transformation in diverse regions of the world to argue that media
change and social change converge on a redefinition of the
relations of individuals to larger collective bodies. To this end,
contributors examine new collective actors emerging in the public
arena through digital media or established actors adjusting to a
diversified communication environment. The book offers an important
contribution to a vibrant, transdisciplinary, and international
field of research emerging at the intersections of communication,
performance and social movement studies.
Artists especially from dance and performance art as well as opera
are involved to an increasing degree in the transfer between
different media, not only in their productions but also the events,
materials, and documents that surround them. At the same time, the
focus on that which remains has become central to any discussion of
performance. Performing Arts in Transition explores what takes
place in the moments of transition from one medium to another, and
from the live performance to that which "survives" it. Case studies
from a broad range of interdisciplinary scholars address phenomena
such as: The dynamics of transfer between the performing and visual
arts. The philosophy and terminologies of transitioning between
media. Narratives and counternarratives in historical re-creations.
The status of chronology and the document in art scholarship. This
is an essential contribution to a vibrant, multidisciplinary and
international field of research emerging at the intersections of
performance, visual arts, and media studies.
