APE Lecture For Every One
Book SynopsisDuring seven years, 16 performers spread Lecture For Every One throughout Europe. They intervened in more than 300 different gatherings, from a corporate sales meeting to a brass-band rehearsal and a municipal council. As uninvited guests, they addressed every one with exactly the same text. Until now, the project has remained largely invisible to the wider public. This book now sheds light on the information and expertise Lecture For Every One has generatedfeedback, stories and memories from a range of perspectives. It reflects on how places where people gather can become political instances, on the (im)possibility of addressing every one, and on the value of fiction in our daily lives. Sarah Vanhee is an artist, performer and writer. Her interdisciplinary work moves between the civilian space and the institutional arts sector, and is best known for its radical gestures and its engagement with non-dominant voices and narratives. Since 2007 she has created several onstage performances, (semi-)public interventions and site-specific works that have been widely presented internationally. With texts & contributions by: Adinda Van Geystelen, Anabela Almeida, Anne Thuot, Anton Wilsens, Bojan Djordjev, Carola Bärtschiger, Christine De Smedt, Christophe Slagmuylder, Daniel Blanga Gubbay, Deborah Hazler, Edith Goddeeris, Elina Pirinen, Evelyne Coussens, Gurur Ertem, Iiris Viirpalu, Ilse Ghekiere, Jan De Brabanter, Jan de Zutter, Joe Kelleher, Katja Dreyer, Kristien Van den Brande, Kristof Blom, Lara Barsaq, Lex Bohlmeijer, Linda Sepp, Mariel Supka, Marika Ingels, Matthieu Goeury, Mylène Lauzon, Robin Vanbesien, Salka Ardal Rosengren, Sarah Vanagt, Sarah Vanhee, Silvia Bottiroli, Taziana Pyson and many others.

APE Choreography as Conditioning: … Through Practices
Book SynopsisThe books included in the series Choreography as Conditioning are rooted in a cycle of work sessions entitled CASC at KASK, in which students work together with invited guests. They explore the notions of choreography, understood as ways of organizing subjects in their surroundings, and conditioning in both art-making and society-making. Where, how, and by whom are things organized and what kind of landscapes of experience are made (im)possible by the practices we enact and encounter? Through Practices is written by artist researchers who have been involved in a three-day public symposium with the same title, exploring ecologies of attention, awareness, senses of participation, and agencies of practice. It presents resonances and sedimentations of individual, shared, and collective practices, mirroring different forms of participating and respondingdiverse in/capacities, im/possibilities, and dis/interests as they appear in and through experience.

Oxford University Press Going Through the Storm
Book SynopsisUpon his arrival in the North, Frederick Douglass found, to his utter astonishment, persons who could speak of the singing among slaves as the evidence of their contentment and happiness. As late as 1903, W.E.B. Du Bois observed that African American spirituals had led naive whites to believe that life was joyous to the black slave, careless and happy. While these misconceptions have largely disappeared, the history of African American culture--and its importance to American history as a whole--is still a subject little understood by the majority of Americans. In Going Through the Storm, Sterling Stuckey offers a compelling look at one of the world''s richest cultural traditions. He traces the fertile legacy of African American art from its roots in tribal myth, through its blossoming in slave music and dance, to its fruition in the great gospel-singing movements of the 1960s. In the process he shows how this tradition, grounded as it was in adversity, represents one of the great triumTrade Review"Stuckey skillfully explores the lives and/or cultural theory of significant personalities...to reveal crucial African cultural connections in the New World that are vital to African survival and transcendence."--Journal of American Ethnic History "Plenty of history and culture of all Afro-American artistic endeavors is included in a study which will attract readers seeking to link Afro-American culture and history with artistic evolution."--Diane C. Donovan, The Midwest Book Review

Oxford University Press Imagining New York City
Book SynopsisUsing examples from architecture, film, literature, and the visual arts, this wide-ranging book examines the place and significance of New York City in the urban imaginary between 1890 and 1940. In particular, Imagining New York City considers how and why certain city spaces - such as the skyline, the sidewalk, the slum, and the subway - have come to emblematize key aspects of the modern urban condition. In so doing, the book also considers the ways in which cultural developments in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries set the stage for more recent responses to a variety of urban challenges facing the city, such as post-disaster recovery, the renewal of urban infrastructure, and the remaking of public space.Trade ReviewAn evocative and insightful reading of "this endlessly mutable city". * PD Smith, The Guardian *New York City is the most overly analyzed, overly discussed city on the globe. Yet Lindner has something fresh and significant to say ... This intellectually challenging book is also extremely readable, an outcome rare in academic writing. Highly recommended. * G. R. Butters Jr., CHOICE *This wonderfully rich and engaging book focuses on a transformative period in New York City's history to explore how and why it has so thoroughly captured modern urban imaginations. * David Pinder, author of Visions of the City: Utopianism, Power and Politics in Twentieth-Century Urbanism *An exciting and compelling book, Imagining New York City provides a major contribution to the study of cultural Modernism and urban visual culture. With a richly drawn narrative and a deft interweaving of texts and images, this is clearly a first class writer at work. * Joseph Heathcott, Associate Professor of Urban Studies at The New School and President of the Society for American City and Regional Planning History *Drawing on a rich array of literary, visual, and urbanistic materials, Christoph Lindner offers an intellectually playful, theoretically incisive guide to the cultural history of modern New York. Taking us up skylines and down sidewalks, Lindner makes it clear that imagining New York has been a crucial way of understanding urban modernity. * David Scobey, author of Empire City: The Making and Meaning of the New York City Landscape *worthwhile and insightful reading for anyone interested in New York City or cultural representations of urban spaces, in general. * Nico Völker, Kult_online *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements ; Introduction ; Archive City ; Changing New York ; Modern City, Urban Imaginary ; Skylines and Sidewalks ; After City ; Part 1 - Skylines ; New York Vertical ; The City from Above ; Requiem for the Twin Towers ; Building the Skyline: A Brief Architectural History ; Text and the City ; New York Dreamscapes ; Fantasy Island ; After-Images of New York ; Revisioning the Skyscraper ; Cinema and the Vertical City ; The City from Greenwich Village ; Metrotopia ; The Empty City ; New York Undead ; Part 2 - Sidewalks ; New York Horizontal ; Sidewalks and Public Space ; A Short History of the Grid ; Street-Walking ; Broadway Promenade ; Manhattan Flaneuse ; Blase Metropolitan Attitude ; City of Slums ; Sidewalks and Fear ; Tales of the Tenement ; New York Underground ; Elevated City ; High Line, Lowline ; Subway City ; Underground Fantasies ; Slow Street ; Afterword ; Bibliography

Palgrave Macmillan Performing Gender Violence Plays by Contemporary American Women Dramatists
Book SynopsisExamines violence against women in contemporary American plays by female dramatists.Trade Review"Performing Gender Violence is a precious addition to the scholarly literature of the representation of violence on stage as it opens up new perspectives on the discrimination women still experience today in the United States. Fascinating in terms of content, Ozieblo and Hernando-Real's collection can also be defined as a good read since the articles are informed by the stylistic enthusiasm of the authors which adds to the quality of the book." - Journal of Contemporary Drama in English "In an astute reconfiguration of scholarly conventions, this book, authored by female scholars, is a cross between an edited collection (as the cover suggests) and a co-authored volume . . . All in all, Performing Gender Violence: Plays by Contemporary American Women Dramatists is a thoroughly researched book, which eloquently blends theoretical considerations with close-reading analyses of specific plays. By combining examinations of canonical and recent works, the authors contribute to enlarging our knowledge of the astonishing wealth of contemporary American drama. Therefore, this book will not only be useful to feminists: it will become an invaluable research tool for any serious scholar wishing to study new developments in contemporary US theatre."
