The final iteration of Rainer's dance rant A Truncated History of the Universe for Dummies, accompanied by texts offering a real-time account of Rainer's creative process.Choreographer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer has long investigated the ways in which movement can be a political act in and of itself--on the stage, on the screen, or at the lectern. In Revisions, Rainer pushes her interest in embodied activism to a new arena: what she calls the "dance rant." This volume includes the final iteration of Rainer's latest dance rant, entitled A Truncated History of the Universe for Dummies. This performance piece evolved in live presentations in Dublin, Stockholm, and New York before being expanded and adapted in written form here. In this now-completed work, Rainer mobilizes her rage and bafflement at contemporary political events through the guise of Apollo, Leader of the Muses. Revisions also includes a compilation of emails and diary entries that provide a real-time account of Rainer's process of creating and workshopping a dance. "Pedagogical Vaudeville 3" reveals Rainer's consistent interest in reworking and reconsidering material across multiple mediums, formats, and contexts, and offers an unique glimpse at the working methods of one of this century's preeminent dance artists. Bookended with an introduction by artist and scholar Gregg Bordowitz and an analysis of Rainer's AG Indexical with a Little Help from H. M. by dance historian Anna Staniczenko, these texts serve not only as a revision of the conventional understanding of five decades of Rainer's production, but also as a timely manual for performance as an act of resistance.

"To read Rainer's screenplays is to rediscover, even reinvent, the films all over again, but more importantly to realize that images and mise-en-scene are as key to how Rainer's films work as is language." The Independent

"The scripts record the unique structure of Rainer's] films, the stresses, strains, and crackling of voices layering over and into one another. Their publication is an important moment for feminist film." Cineaste

"Rainer's films are not highly accessible but are important to the critical imagination as an example of the sustained exploration of political and feminist theory." Choice

"Rainer's important work in the area of avant-garde filmmaking in the seventies and eighties is amply recorded in this book... " Cantrills Filmnotes'

The scripts of Rainer's five films, presented here along with essays, an interview, and bibliography, demonstrate the evolution of her political consciousness as well as her creative engagement with the contemporary film and cultural scene. These texts challenge the illusionist and ideological presumptions of mainstream culture and cinema."

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Praktische (Ethik, Asthetik, Kultur, Natur, Recht, ...), Note: 1.3, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen, Veranstaltung: Grundkurs Politische Philosophie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Um die Leitfrage beantworten zu konnen, wird in Teil 2.1 zunachst genauer untersucht, was Aristoteles uberhaupt unter Gluckseligkeit" versteht. In Teil 2.2 soll dann die philosophische Anthropologie betrachtet werden, um die Beziehung des Individuums zu seinen Mitmenschen, der Gemeinschaft, zu entschlusseln. Ausserdem wird festgestellt, ob sich die einfache Gemeinschaft von einer staatlichen Gemeinschaft unterscheidet und inwieweit der Mensch, der in ihr lebt, glucklich werden kann. In Abschnitt 2.3 wird die Verschiedenheit der Lebensformen des Betrachtens" und des politischen Lebens" aufgezeigt und welche von beiden die beste Form fur den Menschen ist, um Gluckseligkeit fur sein Leben zu erlangen. Im letzten Teil des Hauptteils wird das Phanomen der Freundschaft untersucht; ob Freundschaft wichtig fur den Menschen ist, um gluckselig zu werden, und ihre Bedeutung fur das zwischenmenschlichen Gefuge - da die Freundschaft in ihrem Wesen das private und das politische Leben umfasst. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, anhand der Ermittlungen die Leitfrage zu beantworten. Mit Hilfe der Darstellungen von Aristoteles' Lehren soll herausgefunden werden, inwieweit der Mensch, der hier als Mittelding zwischen Tier und Gott gesehen wird, die Gesellschaft - genauer gesagt die politische Gemeinschaft (polis) - benotigt, um Gluckseligkeit zu erlangen. Das Schlusswort gilt der Uberlegung, inwiefern Aristoteles' Thesen uber das Gluck in der Gegenwart Gultigkeit erhalten und ob das Erlangen der vollkommenen Gluckseligkeit fur den Menschen von heute etwas leichter in einer (staatlichen) Gemeinschaft gelingt oder eher ausserhalb von ihr. Als Primarquellen werden fur diese Arbeiten die Werke Politik" (Abkurzung im Folgenden mit: Pol.) und Nikomachisc
