The aesthetic exception
The question of whether art produces politically transformative effects has been intensely debated within critical discourses concerned with art, literature, and performance practices. The Aesthetic Exception reopens the fundamental questions that underpin these debates and examines the entrenchments they produce within critical circles. It does so for the purposes of developing a new approach that circumvents longstanding theoretical impasses, w…
Arte Político después del Giro Comunicativo
Escribiendo en respuesta al ensayo de Sartre sobre literatura comprometida, Adorno proclamó: “No es el momento para obras de arte políticas; más bien, la política ha migrado a la obra de arte autónoma, y ha penetrado más profundamente en obras que se presentan a sí mismas como políticamente muertas”. Hoy, los teóricos del “giro social” en el arte han rechazado completamente a Adorno, adoptando en cambio un nuevo tipo de compromiso en el arte. En …
Theatre Institutions in Crisis
Foucault’s theatres
The volume contributes to a new articulation of theatre and performance studies via Foucault's critical thought. With cutting edge studies by established and emerging writers in areas such as dramaturgy, film, music, cultural history and journalism, the volume aims to be accessible for both experienced researchers and advanced students encountering Foucault's work for the first time. The introduction sets out a thorough and informative assessment…

Their mutually entwining history was to have a profound influence on the development of the modern British stage. This volume proposes a new reading of theatre's relation to the public sphere. Employing a series of historical case studies drawn from the London theatre, Tony…

Castellucci's Theatre of the ‘Abject/Sublime’
In this paper I look at Castellucci's On the Concept of the Face, Regarding the Son of God as a means to sketch out what I would like to call a theatre of the ‘abject/sublime’. By this I mean the subject fails to achieve the kind of ethical autonomy that Kant's radical sublime demands. Instead, I propose to interpret Castellucci's work in two ‘heteronymous’ ways: firstly, in light of Kristeva's dictum that the ‘abject is edged with the sublime’, …

The Deadliest Enemies
Thomas Biolsi, Berkeley: University of California Press, 2001.Reviewer: Tony FisherUniversity of AlbertaDeadliest Enemies is an excellent book. It's not perfect, but then, no really good anthropology book is. Deadliest Enemies begins well. The Introduction introduces us to things we should know but probably don't. Chapter 1 is a good, brief review of Reservation's history and how its present legal status or conundrum came to be. The book carries …
