'Performing Archives/Archives of Performance contributes to the ongoing critical discussions of performance and its disappearance, of the ephemeral and its reproduction, of archives and mediatised recordings of liveness.
The many contributions by excellent scholars and artists from a broad range of interdisciplinary fields as well as from various locations in research geographies demonstrate that despite the extensive discourse on the relationship between performance and the archive, inquiry into the productive tensions between ephemerality and permanence is by no means outdated or exhausted. New ways of understanding archives, history, and memory emerge and address theories of enactment and intervention, while concepts of performance constantly proliferate and enable a critical focus on archival residue. The contributions in Performing Archives/Archives of Performance cover philosophical inquiries as well as discussions of specific art works, performances, and archives. - from publisher's website
The anthology is divided into three sections: Ontologies, Archives of Performance, and Performing Archives. Ontologies contains essays which continue or revisit the discussions of performance ontology. Archives of Performance contains a group of articles addressing art projects that challenge the archive from within. The final section explore the notion of 'performing archives' where the archive is transformed into a dynamic and self-reflective medium that challenges its own ontology.
Includes select bibliography and biographies of contributors.
