Taylor & Francis Ltd Singularities
Book SynopsisHow does the production of performance engage with the fundamental issues of our advanced neo-capitalist age? André Lepecki surveys a decade of experimental choreography to uncover the dual meaning of performance' in the twenty-first century: not just an aesthetic category, but a mode of political power. He demonstrates the enduring ability of performance to critique and subvert this power, examining this relationship through five singularities' in contemporary dance: thingness, animality, persistence, darkness, and solidity.Exploring the works of Mette Ingvartsen, Yvonne Rainer, Ralph Lemon, Jérôme Bel and others, Lepecki uses his concept of singularity'the resistance of categorization and aesthetic identificationto examine the function of dance and performance in political and artistic debate.Trade ReviewSingularities is a sparkling work of dance theory that reads like an urgent and prescient call to action.Sima Belmar - The Drama ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction: Dance and the age of neoliberal performance Chapter 1: Moving as Some Thing (or, Some things want to run)Chapter 2: In the Dark Chapter 3: Limitrophies of the Human: monstrous nature, thingly life, and the wild animalChapter 4: The Body as Archive: will to reenact and the afterlives of dances Chapter 5: Choreographic Angelology: the dancer as worker of history (or, Remembering is a hard thing)Chapter 6: Afterthought: Four notes on witnessing performance in the age of neoliberal dis-experience

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Strange Proximity
Book SynopsisWhat happens in the relationship between audience and performer? Whatchoices are made in the space of performance about how we attend toothers?A Strange Proximity examines stage presence as key to thinking aboutperformance and ethics. It is the first phenomenological account of ethicsgenerated from, rather than applied to, contemporary theatrical productions.The ethical possibilities of the stage, argues Jon Foley Sherman, rest notso much in its objectsthe performers and the show itselfas in the howof attending to others. A Strange Proximity is a unique perspective on theimplications of attention in performance.Trade Review"A powerful meditation on performance, attention, and the ethical claims inherent in both. Foley Sherman, who wears the mantle scholar-performer as well as anyone, is a master at navigating the difficult terrains of performance theory, phenomenology, and the work of philosophers such as Jacques Rancière. His insights into how we attend to others and why this matters to performance are provocative and deeply original. As a study of theater’s elusive "presence" and all that comprises it, this book stands with the best work in contemporary performance analysis. As a demonstration of how phenomenology can illuminate theater’s 'strange proximities,' it is unrivaled." Stanton B. Garner, Jr., University of Tennessee"Jon Foley Sherman's book is not only a must-read for any scholar interested in a rich and provocative approach to the poetics of perception, but also a necessary book for any practitioner in the field of theatre who is willing to question the deepest roots of his or her existence as an artist and as a human being." Thomas Prattki, Founder and Director, London International School of Performing Arts"An illuminating and rigorous exploration of how a phenomenology inspired in equal measure by the writing of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the teaching of Jacques Lecoq might offer a description of the practice of theatre as a paradigmatic mode of social perception. The ethics of attention Foley Sherman elaborates here invites us to enrich our experience of theatre by attending to how it unfolds between us as a source of both trouble and wonder. It is a thoughtful, personal, and original contribution to performance philosophy."

Amsterdam University Press The Last Great American Picture Show: New Hollywood Cinema in the 1970s
Book SynopsisThe Last Great American Picture Show brings together essays by scholars and writers who chart the changing evaluations of the American cinema of the 1970s, sometimes referred to as the decade of the lost generation, but now more and more recognized as the first New Hollywood, without which the cinema of Francis Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Tim Burton or Quentin Tarantino could not have come into existence.Identified with directors such as Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, Peter Bogdanovich, Monte Hellman, Bob Rafelson, Hal Ashby, Robert Altman and James Toback, American cinema of the 1970s is long overdue for this re-evaluation. Many of the films have not only come back from oblivion, as the benchmark for new directorial talents. They have also become cult films in the video shops and the classics of film courses all over the world.Table of ContentsTable of Contents - 6 Part One Introductions - 8 The Impure Cinema: New Hollywood 1967-1976 - 10 ”The Last Good Time We Ever Had”: Remembering the New Hollywood Cinema - 20 American Auteur Cinema: The Last – or First – Great Picture Show - 38 Part Two Histories - 72 The Decade When Movies Mattered - 74 A Walking Contradiction (Partly Truth and Partly Fiction) - 84 The Exploitation Generation. or: How Marginal Movies Came in from the Cold - 108 New Hollywood and the Sixties Melting Pot - 132 Part Three People and Places - 154 Dinosaurs in the Age of the Cinemobile - 156 ”The Cylinders Were Whispering My Name”: The Films of Monte Hellman - 166 Nashville contra Jaws, or “The Imagination of Disaster” Revisited - 196 For Wanda - 224 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere: The Uneasy Ride of Hollywood and Rock - 250 Auteurism and War-teurism: Terrence Malick’s War Movie - 268 Part Four Critical Debates - 278 The Pathos of Failure: American Films in the 1970s: Notes on the Unmotivated Hero [1975] - 280 Trapped in the Affection Image: Hollywood’s Post-traumatic Cycle (1970-1976) - 294 Grim Fascination: Fingers, James Toback and 1970s American Cinema - 310 Allegories of Post-Fordism in 1970s New Hollywood: Countercultural Combat Films, Conspiracy Thrillers as Genre Recycling - 334 Bibliography - 360 List of Contributors - 372 Pictures (with credits) - 376 Index of Film Titles - 378

Cambridge University Press Musicology and Dance
Book SynopsisLong treated as peripheral to music history, dance has become prominent within musicological research, as a prime and popular subject for an increasing number of books, articles, conference papers and special symposiums. Despite this growing interest, there remains no thorough-going critical examination of the ways in which musicologists might engage with dance, thinking not only about specific repertoires or genres, but about fundamental commonalities between the two, including embodiment, agency, subjectivity and consciousness. This volume begins to fill this gap. Ten chapters illustrate a range of conceptual, historical and interpretive approaches that advance the interdisciplinary study of music and dance. This methodological eclecticism is a defining feature of the volume, integrating insights from critical theory, film and cultural studies, the visual arts, phenomenology, cultural anthropology and literary criticism into the study of music and dance.Trade Review'An engaging, erudite, and brilliantly edited collection of important essays on music and dance. Here the producers and process of art are valued as much as the product. While honoring the embodied knowledge of dancers themselves and respecting the all too human aspects of dance, the authors also, in complementary ways, address the sublime – the beauty beyond our mortal ken.' Simon Morrison, Princeton University, New Jersey'This refreshing and thoughtful book contributes to the body of research that has been synthesizing dance and music for more than 30 years … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.' A. E. Handfield, Choice'Dance has proved an increasingly rich site of musicological study since the 1980s, and a new collected volume edited by Davinia Caddy and Maribeth Clark from Cambridge University Press makes a valuable contribution to that growing body of literature … Scholars in this interdisciplinary space will welcome a work brimming with the diversity of conceptual, historical, and interpretative approaches that this text provides.' Lena Leson, Revue de musicologie'The glimpses of live performance directly referenced in Musicology and Dance are not only informative but, dare it be said, entertaining too … [The book] offers many fresh insights into relationships between dance and music.'
