Exploring the political and philosophical roots of a number of recent leftist civil movements, Petrović Lotina forcefully argues for a re-imagining of artistic performance as an instrument of democracy capable of contesting a dominant politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by post-Marxist theories of discourse theory, hegemony, conflict, and pluralism, and using tension as a guiding philosophical, political, and artistic force, the book expands the politico-philosophical debate on theories of performance. It offers both scholars and practitioners of performance a thought-provoking analysis of the ways in which artistic performance can be viewed politically as ‘agonistic choreo-political practice,’ a powerful strategy for mobilising alternative ways of living together and invigorating democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoreographing Agonism\u003c\/i\u003e makes a bold and innovative contribution to the discussion of political and philosophical thought in the field of Performance Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Choreographing Agonism is a unique and timely addition to the intersecting fields of politico-philosophical thought and performance studies, offering new interdisciplinary connections between structures of thought underscored by a passionate political impulse.” (Tom Drayton, European Journal of Theatre and Performance, Issue 4, June, 2022)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.
