This book investigates the practices of reconstructing and
representing performance art and their power to shape this art form
and our understanding of it. Performance art emerged
internationally between the 1960s and 1970s crossing disciplinary
boundaries between performing arts and visual arts. Because of the
challenge it posed to the ontologies and paradigms of these fields,
performance art has since stimulated an ongoing debate on the most
appropriate means to document, preserve and display it. Tancredi
Gusman brings together international scholars from different
disciplinary fields to examine methods, media, and approaches by
which this art form has been represented and (re)activated over
time and its transnational history reconstructed. Through
contributions and case studies spanning various countries, regions
and artistic fields, the authors outline an innovative
theoretical-methodological framework for capturing the processes
and strategies for transmitting the tangible and intangible
heritage of performance art. This book will be of great appeal to
students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of Theatre
and Performance Studies as well as Visual Arts and Art History, who
have an interest in performance art, its history and presence in
the contemporary artistic and cultural landscape.
