Description

The Transformative Power of Performance: A New Aesthetics By Erika Fischer-Lichte This book explores the emergence of performance as a distinct art form, challenging traditional notions of what constitutes an artistic object. By examining the unique experience of attending a performance, Fischer-Lichte reveals how it can shape our understanding of the performing arts and their place within broader cultural contexts. Through this new aesthetic, Fischer-Lichte argues that performances blur the boundaries between artist, audience, body, and mind, creating a distinctive mode of experience. This book provides a framework for reevaluating the role of performance in contemporary culture, making it an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Translated with an introduction by Marvin Carlson, this edition offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of performance art, experimental theatre, and cultural performances.
