Visions and Revisions brings the fields of performance studies and trauma
studies together in conversation where they inform crucial themes such as
trauma, testimony, witness, and spectatorship. While performance studies is
increasingly addressing trauma and how to represent it, attention is still often
relegated to high-brow forms of art and political theatre. The contributors here fill a critical gap, raising questions about how popular and mediatised performances that memorialise trauma might also be viewed through performance theory.
They also look at how performance studies might shift its focus from the visual to the sensorial and material - as a method of rethinking the act of witness - and in doing so offer a fresh perspective on performance and trauma studies |
