Description

Shannon Jackson's Social Works Performing Art, Supporting Publics is a groundbreaking study that explores the tensions and vectors at the heart of contemporary theorizing in theatre, art, and performance. By examining performative practices and social structures, Jackson sheds light on the "social turn" in contemporary art and performance. This book offers a keen analysis of the limits of aesthetic conviviality and the role of art in engaging with sociality itself. Jackson's work is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how and why art can be political today. With its clear and detailed case studies, Social Works Performing Art, Supporting Publics will provide valuable insights for scholars, students, and artists alike. By interrogating the shift in practice towards "aesthetic conviviality," Jackson provides a nuanced exploration of the intersection between art and sociality. This book is a must-have for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of contemporary performance studies.
