Description

Book Synopsis
Presents essays that offer an appraisal of the avant-garde by placing it within a global context. This book questions the assumptions that underlie the accepted chronology and theory of the avant-garde, and offers a performance-based theory that moves beyond Eurocentric presup-positions.

Trade Review
Joins the growing field of critical and transnational theories on the arts... its grounding in live performance and its foregrounding of the performative human body presents a new theoretical paradigm that is pathbreaking. - Haiping Yan, University of California, Los Angeles
