Post-performance
All became data during the pandemic. Lockdowns made manifest what had developed for some time: that theatre has become inextricably entangled with digital cultures, the performing arts being increasingly encountered as a growing stock of multimodal fragments, textual discourses and networked communications. And, it is argued, it is precisely this appearance of theatre as (big) data that might prove to be the game-changer post-pandemic, and that t…
Re-socializing emptied spaces
The suspension of operations during lockdowns facilitated a new perspective on performance: the absent came to appear as a determining factor of not only the pandemic, but became evident as constitutive of late modern theater cultures. Based on a description of the lockdown performance A Room of Our Own (2021) by the feminist collective Swoosh Lieu, it is shown how contemporary practice is relocating performance within its entanglement with the s…
Theaterwissenschaft postkolonial/dekolonial
Bulbs Onstage
European theatres were electrified between 1883 and 1913. This process has traditionally been associated with the advent of modernist theatre, but the details have rarely been examined, nor has the scope of the process's social and technological impacts been analysed. Reconstructing light bulbs’ early appearances in theatrical practice and discourse, this article traces the intricate entanglement between the electrical industry and theatrical cul…
Performing the Glitch
AI (artificial intelligence) commonly enters on stage and in film as an android, a machine that performs the human by enacting the not-quite-human. As this essay demonstrates, the android character emerges from a common scenario that conjures a phantasm of replacement, only to subsequently dispel it by the performance of a glitch: enacting a temporary malfunction of the machine by a lapse in naturalist acting conventions, the android aims to reen…
Theatres of Control
Algorithms must be understood in regard to the governance of populations by means of numbers. Turbo Pascal's Algorithmen, a recent performance that experiments with sorting its audience, raises the question of governance and technology in the context of performance. Aesthetic innovation and individual experience are no longer at stake for performance within digital cultures, but rather the constitution and governance of collectivities
Ästhetische Praxis als Gegenstand und Methode kulturwissenschaftlicher Forschung
Künstlerisches und ästhetisches Handeln führt nicht nur zu bestimmten Werken, wie etwa den Kunstwerken, sondern kann auch selbst Wissen produzieren und weitergeben. Im europäischen Kanon des Wissens und der Wissenschaften sind ästhetische Praktiken aus dem Blick geraten. Um die Wissensdimension dieser ästhetischen Praktiken wieder sichtbar und anwendbar zu machen, behandeln die Beiträge dieses Bandes sie sowohl als Gegenstände wie auch als möglic…
Internetauftritte
Ein Auftritt im Internet erregt - wie jener auf dem Theater - Aufmerksamkeit und bringt den theatralen Hang des Digitalen auf den Begriff. Von Internettheater und interaktiver Kunst zu Computerspielen und Cosplays, von Wagner zu World of Warcraft und vom bürgerlichen Trauerspiel ins soziale Netzwerk verfolgt der Band die historischen Verstrickungen von Theaterkultur und neuen Medien. Hinter den Transformationen der theatralen Praktiken und Diskur…
Theater als Zeitmaschine
Das Theater ist eine Zeitmaschine, durch die Gegenwart und Vergangenheit miteinander in Beziehung treten. Seit der Jahrtausendwende jedoch ist in den Künsten immer häufiger eine performative Praxis anzutreffen, die das Theater als Zeitmaschine neu verortet: Reenactments stellen Geschichte nach, statt sie darzustellen. Sie reanimieren das Vergangene, statt es zu aktualisieren - und machen aus der Performance, was sie nie sein wollte: Theater. Ausg…
