Item description from seller

269 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Sehr gut und sauber. - Anatomy Live: Performance and the Operating Theatre is the first title in the series MediaMatters; a new series at Amsterdam University Press about media, digital culture and technology. Anatomy Live: Performance and the Operating Theatre uses the anatomical theatre as a means of obtaining a cultural-historical perspective on the relationships between representations of the body, conceptions of subjectivity, and the performativity of knowledge, all subjects currently under discussion in a variety of disciplines. The authors demonstrate how the implications of this history can be seen at work in the appearance of dancing and acting bodies on stage, but also how contemporary theatre and performance 'talks back' to this history, criticizing its implications and arguing for alternatives. In its early stages, anatomy was highly theatrical in character, and was pursued in the highly theatrical space of the Renaissance anatomy theatre. In the following centuries, this theatricality disappeared as theatre and theory drifted apart. But new developments on stage, as well as in contemporary theory, suggest the productivity of bringing theatre and theory back into the same room in order to explore alternative conceptions emerging at the intersection of artistic practices and philosophical, theoretical and scientific ideas. Discussions of well known and influential projects such as the Visible Human Project and Body Worlds, as well as the work of well-known philosophers and theorists (Foucault, Deleuze, Haraway, Massumi, and Sawday, among others) present a frame of reference for a wider audience interested in theories and representations of the body, the history of subjectivity in modernity, the construction of spectatorship (in various media) and the interaction between theory and artistic practice.
