Diana Taylor Libri

    Diana Taylor esplora l'intricata relazione tra performance, memoria culturale e politica, in particolare nelle Americhe. La sua opera accademica approfondisce come i ricordi collettivi e le identità vengano formati e sostenuti attraverso atti performativi. Taylor esamina criticamente l'intersezione tra teatro, lotta politica e trasformazione sociale, rivelando come i corpi e le loro presentazioni funzionino come archivi della storia. Il suo approccio offre profonde intuizioni sui modi in cui la performance modella e riflette il nostro mondo.

      Książka Performans Diany Taylor niewątpliwie wyróżnia się na tle rodzimych i tłumaczonych prac o performansach i performatywności. Autorka jako materiał swoich rozważań wybrała stosunkowo słabo znane przykłady z Ameryki Środkowej i Południowej, co nie pozostało bez wpływu na sposób definiowania tytułowego zjawiska, zwłaszcza jego aspektów politycznych. Ponadto sto kilkadziesiąt unikatowych fotografii ze zbiorów nowojorskiego Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics nie tyle ilustruje przywoływane artystyczne działania i zaangażowane interwencje w rzeczywistość, ile stanowi integralny element wywodu, który niewiele ma wspólnego z typowym akademickim wykładem. Precyzyjnie rozplanowany graficznie wchodzi w dialog ze zdjęciami, dając przykład tego, co można nazwać pisaniem performatywnym czy też performansem pisania.
