1	Operamaskerad i Stockholm 1925 Widing, Gabriel January 2006 (has links) I have examined the conditions for participation in an opera masquerade. Theoretical support has been found in Michail Bachtin, Richard Schechner and Judith Butler. The main study object has been a masquerade organised by the workers of The Royal Opera of Stockholm in 1925. The masquerade is examined as a social practise with distinct aesthetic framing. The analysis shows that the opera masquerade share some characteristics with the medieval carnival culture as described by Bachtin, but differ in many ways as well. It is easy to place the opera masquerade within the concept performance as discussed by Schechner, since it is framed in time, space and make use of certain social agreements. A look at the architecture shows that physical and social border between the stage and the auditorium had to be dissolved to let opera viewers become opera masquerade participants. Using Butler I discuss how the masquerade could challenge as well as preserve traditional gender structures. Opera masquerade performativity participation Schechner
2	Entre pedaços de algodão e bailarinas de porcelana : a performance artística do balé clássico como performance de gênero Santos, Tatiana Mielszarski dos January 2009 (has links) O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar de que modos a performance artística do balé, que compreende uma série de práticas e significados que lhe conferem sentido, converte-se em performance de gênero, ou seja, estiliza o corpo, repercute na aparência e no comportamento de quem dança, produzindo e reproduzindo maneiras específicas de se viver a masculinidade e a feminilidade. O material empírico foi constituído a partir de entrevistas realizadas com dois grupos de crianças que participam de aulas desse estilo de dança em Porto Alegre. Para a realização da análise, foram utilizados como referenciais teóricos o conceito de performance de Richard Schechner, entre outras contribuições dos Estudos da Performance, bem como alguns referenciais dos Estudos de Gênero e de autores que tratam da história, cultura e pedagogia do balé clássico. As análises foram organizadas em quatro eixos que dizem respeito: 1) à performance do balé e aos seus aspectos técnicos e pedagógicos; 2) à infância performatizada, a partir das rotinas e dos interesses das crianças entrevistadas; 3) às performances do feminino na dança clássica; 4) às discussões deflagradas por intermédio da observação de imagens relativas ao universo da dança e ao universo infantil estereotipado. A partir dos relatos das crianças, verificou-se que dançar balé (pode) significa(r) dar-se a ver bela e feminina, e que o aprendizado da dança se caracteriza como aprendizado de ser menina. Dessa forma, a rigidez na delimitação de um modo de se viver a masculinidade e a feminilidade pode tanto afastar os meninos da dança, quanto aproximar as meninas ao balé. / The aim of this research is to analyse in which ways the artistic performance of the ballet dance, which comprehends a branch of practices and meanings that give its sense, converts in genre performance, i. e., stilize the body, has effects on physical appearance and in the behaviour of the ones that dance, producing and reproducing specific ways of living masculinity and feminility. The empiric material was constituted from interviews performed with two different groups of kids that take ballet classes in Porto Alegre. In order to make this analysis we used the concept of the word performance from Richard Schechner as a theoretical referencial, among some other contributions from the Performance Studies, as well as some referentials from Genre Studies and from authors that treat ballet history, culture and pedagogy: 1) to the ballet performance and to its technical and pedagogycal aspects; 2) to the performatized childhood, from the routines and interests of the children that were interviewed; 3) to the female performances ind classic dance; 4) to the discussions led through the observation of images related to the dance universe and to the childlike universe. From the analysis of what children said about dancing ballet, we verify that dancing ballet can mean putting each dancer in a condition of showing herself beautiful and female-like and that dance learning means learning to be a girl. Thus, the difficulty of setting a way of living masculinity and feminility can either put boys away from dance or put girls even closer to the art of ballet.

3	Persuasive Performance: Articulating a Space Between the Disciplines of Rhetoric and Performance Studies McKinney, Joshua Evans 01 June 2016 (has links) This work explores persuasive performances, or performances which are wrought in order to affect changes in the thoughts, attitudes, emotions, ideas, beliefs, and opinions of others. Such performances are located in a space between the disciplines of performance studies and rhetoric. This work offers one way in which such performances might be better understood by proposing a model of negotiation comprised of the techniques of rhetorical dramatism and performance studies. A political debate and parts of Shakespeare's The Tempest are analyzed as examples using the model. This work represents an invitation to scholars of the disciplines of rhetoric and performance studies to act together -- to consubstantiate-- in order to better explore the space between their disciplines. rhetoric performance studies persuasion Kenneth Burke Richard Schechner Theatre and Performance Studies

6	Performance art jako hraniční forma uměleckého projevu / Performance Art as a Border Form of Artistic Expression Vatulíková, Andrea Unknown Date (has links) While taking into account the field of study of performing arts, I assume that the category called „performing arts“ underwent many reforms in the 20th century, making it almost impossible to set clear boundaries between theatre, dance and performance art. Therefore I deal with their common ground that I call the zero point and that allows me to explore means of expression of human body and also time – space dimension of live action. The zero point is located in the pelvic region of the body and it is the center of stability, balance and life enegry. In my dissertation I focus on the analysis of physical trainings that work with the zero point in theater, dance and performance arts. Primary output of this work is then analysis of physicality as culturally encoded construct and the practical part of disseration is focused on the realisation of the point zero symposium.
7	Vigselgudstjänstens teologi i praktiken : Fallstudier av vigselgudstjänster i Svenska kyrkan utifrån liturgisk teologi, performanceteori och ritteori / Wedding Service Theology in Practice : Case Studies of Wedding Services in the Church of Sweden from the perspective of Liturgical Theology, Performance Theory and Ritual Theory Ingrid, Dahlström January 2021 (has links) In this essay I have studied wedding services in the Church of Sweden, as they are actually performed. I do this from a liturgical-theological perspective, a performance- perspective and from the perspective of ritual studies. According to the performance- perspective the wedding service can be seen as consisting of different scripts, for example, the normative script of the handbook, the script of the wedding-couple and the script of the minister. The main question is: What is constructed when these three scripts meet in a wedding service? I first study each script. I give an account for the script of the handbook and analyse it by placing it in a historical, liturgical and theological context. The script of the wedding couple and the minister I uncover by participant observations of three wedding services and interviews with the couples and ministers acting in these services. Thereafter I analyse the scripts of the couples and the minsters looking at themes that appear to be important in these scripts and in the handbook. Such themes are the wedding service as a service of blessing, the legal aspect of the service, the construction of family through marriage, love, the service as a ritual, the setting of the wedding, the role of the minister, the importance of participation and the role of the music. I conclude that the three scripts are indeed three very different scripts, but when they are juxtaposed a new meaning is constructed. This can occur even if the script are not correlating or even to some extent collides. One important factor for meaning to be constructed is the ritualization, acts that make the service a ritual. This seems to be more important than the fact that the scripts correlate. Another important factor for meaning to be constructed is that the scripts actually meet, that they actually are juxtaposed together. For this to happen the minister has to clarify his/her own script and be responsive to the couple’s script. Then the minister can relate their script to blessing, prayer and scripture. Normatively, I conclude that the wedding service becomes a meaningful wedding service when the couple’s scripts are related to the greater, transcendent Script Practical theology liturgical studies wedding service Church of Sweden liturgical theology performance theory ritual theory Alexander Schmemann Aidan Kavanagh Gordon Lathrop Richard Schechner Catherine Bell Praktisk teologi liturgivetenskap vigselgudstjänst Svenska kyrkan liturgisk teologi performanceteori ritteori Alexander Schmemann Aidan Kavanagh Gordon Lathrop Richard Schechner Catherine Bell Religious Studies Religionsvetenskap
8	Heavy Metal Humor: Reconsidering Carnival in Heavy Metal Culture Powell, Gary Botts 16 December 2013 (has links) What can 15th century France and heavy metal have in common? In Heavy Metal Humor, Gary Powell explores metal culture through the work of Mikael Bakhtin‘s “carnivalesque theory.” Describing the practice of inverting commonly understood notions of respectability and the increasing attempts to normalize them, Bakhtin argues that carnivals in Francois Rabelais’ work illustrate a sacrilegious uprising by the peasant classes during carnival days against dogmatic aristocrats. Powell asserts that Rabelais’ work describes cartoonish carnivals that continue in as exaggerated themes and tropes into other literary styles, such as comedy and horror that ultimately inform modern-day metal culture. To highlight the similarities of Bakhtin’s interpretation of Rabelais’ work to modern-day metal culture, Powell draw parallels to between Bakhtin’s carnivalesque theory and metal culture with two different, exemplary “humorous” metal performances, GWAR and Anal Cunt. Powell chooses “humorous” metal groups because, to achieve their humor, they exaggerate tropes, and behaviors in metal culture. To this end, Powell explores metal culture through GWAR, a costumed band who sprays their audience with fake body fluids as they decapitate effigies. He points out examples of Rabelais’ work which Bakhtin uses to describe carnivalesque tropes, and threads them to modern-day metal culture. Powell then indicates how carnivalesque performances amplify with Anal Cunt, a “satirical” hateful, grindcore group. In the band’s performance which is both serious and humorous at once, Anal Cunt draws on several carnivalesque behaviors. To dissect this band’s performance, Powell augments Bakhtin’s carnivalesque theory with Richard Schechner’s theory of “dark play” and Johan Huizinga’s “play communities” to more describe and illustrate why some aspects of modern-day metal culture do not match Bakhtin’s theory based on medieval French literature. However, carnivalesque humor becomes ambiguous and social and political problems arise as it escalates. As disrespectability is promoted, social and political tensions surface. Countering Bakhtin’s utopian notion of carnivalesque uprising, Powell highlights how socio-political turmoil presents itself in carnivalesque performance by referring to examples of confusion and concern regarding racism and sexism, something left unexplored in Bakhtin’s work. Powell suggests expanding and modernizing Bakhtin’s carnival could open pathways toward solutions to carnival culture’s socio-political ills.

9	Le "pour de vrai" et le "vrai" en art performance : fiction vs trace / The "Like true" and the"True" in performance art : Fiction Vs Trace Lagouarde, Clément 04 July 2018 (has links) L’art performance est un art contemporain difficile à définir. Néanmoins il peut se décrire par l’action d’un artiste de performance qui, à la différence du théâtre traditionnel, se présente lui-même devant un public, s’infligeant parfois de véritable blessure. Cet art questionne le « pour de vrai » et le « vrai ». En le comparant au théâtre il semble moins fictif car les blessures est le sang sont « vrais », et sa trace (captations vidéos, captations sonores, photographies, objets, croquis, écrits, etc.) le prouve. La fiction et la trace paraissent opposées, là où la première est une invention (le « pour de vrai ») l’autre est un élément pérenne d’une action vécue (le « vrai »), l’art performance permettrait alors de penser ces deux notions non plus comme opposés mais comme corrélatives. L’art performance présente sa trace comme un élément pérenne d’une action plus ou moins inventée : le « vrai » dont la frontière avec le « pour de vrai » peut être questionné. Cette thèse argumente ces hypothèses à travers une première partie comparative entre l’art performance et l’art théâtral, avec comme problématique la fiction qui semble opposée au « vrai ». Et une seconde partie corrélative sur le possible « pour de vrai » de la trace, qui permet l’étude de trois traces épistémologiques : la mémoire, l’écriture et l’indice à travers des exemples respectifs d’artistes de performance. / Performance art is a contemporary art is hard to define but which can be described as an action made an audience by a performance artist who, in contrast to the traditional theater, is the artist himself is inflicting sometimes real physical injuries. This art questions the 'like true' and the 'true' and seems less fictitious than traditional theater because blood’s physical injuries is 'true' and that he uses his trace as evidence (video recordings, sound recordings, photographs, objects, sketches, written, etc.). If the fiction and the trace seem opposed, because the first is an invention (the "like true") the other is a sustainable living action (the ' true') element, performance art then would think these two concepts not as opposites but as Horn related. As performance art, object of study here, presents his trail as a perennial element of a more or less invented action: as the 'true' including the border with the "like true" can be questioned. This thesis argues its assumptions through a comparative part between performance art and theatrical art, with as problematic fiction that seems opposite to 'true'. And a second consequential part on the possible "like true" of the trace, which allows the study of three epistemological traces : memory, writing, and trifle through respective examples of performance artists.

10	Evangelistic Performance in New Zealand: The Word and What is Not Said Bond, Greta Jane January 2008 (has links) In 1518, Martin Luther is reputed to have nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg, an act that sparked the Protestant Reformation. Luther sought change in the Catholic Church: a return to an unmediated relationship with God based on a closer understanding of the Word. Since then, Protestant evangelism has been a force for social change: and this is particularly true in New Zealand, where evangelism has gone hand in hand with the colonisation of the country. This thesis proposes that it is not, in fact, the literal understanding of the Word that gives these services meaning, and that such an understanding is problematic and perhaps even impossible: the Word is always a translation. Instead, it is through what is not said - the performative aspects of evangelistic services, including the use of space, the actions of the evangelist, and pre-existing cultural “horizons of expectation” - that meanings are produced. Taking as material Samuel Marsden’s first service in New Zealand in 1814, in which the Word was preached in English to a congregation who primarily spoke only Maori, the more contemporary example of televangelist Benny Hinn, who performs miracles to television cameras, and the religious and political performances of Destiny Church’s Brian Tamaki, this thesis uses the tools of performance studies to undertake an ethnographic study of evangelistic services. This brings into focus the ways in which evangelists may create congregations and produce meanings in their services through different modes of performance and the ways in which these ulterior meanings impact, and have impacted, on New Zealand society.
