Beskrivning

This book spotlights artworks and art performances whose common denominator is the theme of (self-)representation of artists in the 'woman' category in scenes of love and sexuality. Pursuing the research practice of deep drilling, this study presents various methodologies and research directions to create diverse perspectives on the selected artworks. This book combines historical outlines based on art history, visual culture studies, new methodologies in theatre studies and digressions into sociology. Philosophical readings will complement the resulting multiple perspective, in which figures of thought such as transimmanence, the theory of performativity and body-mind dualism are of specific interest. This research brings to the fore networks of sedimented and entangled histories and their role in shaping our ways of seeing. This study will be of great interest to scholars and students in dance, dance performance and art performance.
