Scenography and Art History: Performance Design and Visual Culture

Scenography and Art History reimagines scenography as a critical concept for art history, and is the first book to demonstrate the importance and usefulness of this concept for art historians and scholars in related fields. It provides a vital evaluation of the contemporary importance of scenography as a critical tool for art historians and scholars from related branches of study addressing phenomena such as witchy designs, Early Modern festival books, live rock performances, digital fashion photography, and outdoor dance interventions. With its nuanced and detailed case studies, this book is an innovative contribution to ongoing debates within art history and visual studies concerning multisensory events. It extends the existing literature by demonstrating the importance of a reimagined scenography concept for comprehending historical and contemporary art histories and visual cultures more broadly. The book contends that scenography is no longer restricted to the traditional space of the theatre, but has become an important concept for approaching art historical and contemporary objects and events. It explores scenography not solely as a critical approach and theoretical concept, but also as an important practice linked with unrecognized labour and broader political, social and gendered issues in a great variety of contexts, such as festive culture, sacred settings, fashion, film, or performing arts. Designed as a key resource for students, teachers and researchers in art history, visual studies, and related subjects, the book, through its cross-disciplinary frame, does consider, implicitly and explicitly, the roles of both scenography and art in society.

Schau-Prozesse: Gericht und Theater als Bühnen des Politischen (Literatur und Recht #8)

Gerichtsprozesse wie der NSU-Prozess haben große mediale Aufmerksamkeit erfahren und sind zum Stoff von zahlreichen Theaterinszenierungen geworden. Solche publikumswirksamen ‚Schau-Prozesse‘ zeigen, wie Gericht und Theater zu Bühnen des Politischen werden. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Recht und Theater viel fundamentaler verbunden sind, als bislang diskutiert: Sie konstituieren sich gegenseitig. Theatrale Elemente sind für das Recht unverzichtbar und umgekehrt prägen Rechtsinszenierungen das Theater. Die Beiträge des interdisziplinären Bandes analysieren diese Wechselseitigkeit und fokussieren die politische Performance im Theater und im Recht.

The Schaubühne Berlin under Thomas Ostermeier: Reinventing Realism (Methuen Drama Engage)

On the 20th anniversary of artistic director Thomas Ostermeier's time at Berlin's Schaubühne Theatre, this important study reflects on the contribution the theatre has made to contemporary theatre, not just in Germany, but around the world. Ostermeier has kept extending and refining the important notion of German Regietheater (directors' theatre) with the Schaubühne Theatre being its internationally famous birthplace under the previous artistic direction of Peter Stein. Through doing so, the work produced at the Schaubühne has transgressed established divides of text-based and devised theatre, and blurred the borders between theatre and dance. Combining scholarly reflection with interview material, this essential collection investigates how theatre has been reinvented by the Schaubühne under Ostermeier's tenure, bringing together international theatre scholars such as Erika Fischer-Lichte, Marvin Carlson, Jitka Goriaux Pelechova, Benjamin Fowler, Ramona Mosse and Sabine Huschka. This study also considers productions by some of Ostermeier's past and present collaborators, such as Katie Mitchell, Falk Richter and Sasha Waltz. This edition also includes the first English translation of Schaubühne's original manifesto “The Mission” (1999); a contribution from Ostermeier's long-term co-director Jens Hillje; a contribution from Hans-Thies Lehmann on Falk Richter; and an interview with Thomas Ostermeier by Clare Finburgh Delijani.

Scheitern als Performance: Vom Versagen und seiner politischen Relevanz in der Videokunst (Image #198)

Das Scheitern ist ein besonders sensibler Punkt im gesellschaftlichen Zusammenspiel. An der Schnittstelle von Kunst- und Sozialwissenschaft sucht Nicole Alber nach seinen Repräsentationen und Bedeutungen in der bildenden Kunst: Ausgewählte Werke der Videoperformance sollen Aufschluss über die politische Dimension von Motiven wie dem Fall oder dem Schiffbruch geben. Dabei wird deutlich: Bas Jan Ader, Cathy Sisler und Francis Alÿs setzen das Scheitern exzessiv, ironisch oder subversiv in Szene, um es radikal zu hinterfragen und inhaltlich neu zu besetzen. Sie ermutigen, das Scheitern anders zu denken, und eröffnen neue Handlungsräume.

Schiller und die Folgen

Schiller gilt als Klassiker eingemauert in das Gefängnis seiner Überzeitlichkeit. Aber kein anderer ist so sehr Zeitgenosse aller Zeiten gewesen wie er. Er hat die Beben der Französischen Revolution vor ihrem Ausbruch gespürt, hat den Aufstand einer jungen Generation gegen die Welt der Väter inszeniert. Kein anderer hat die Freiheit der Kunst so vehement verteidigt und der bürgerlichen Scheinmoral so sehr ins Gewissen geredet. Für Nietzsche war er ein Moraltrompeter . Aber der Weltbürger, der keinem Fürsten dient , hat wie kaum ein anderer die deutsche Kultur und deren Werte mitgeprägt. Das zeigt dieses Buch an einer Fülle von Beispielen und Überlegungen zu allen Bereichen der Kultur.
