{"product_id":"9781138907713","title":"Singularities : Dance in the Age of Performance by Andre Lepecki","description":"How does the production of performance engage with the fundamental issues of our advanced neo-capitalist age? Andr? Lepecki surveys a decade of experimental choreography to uncover the dual meaning of `performance' in the twenty-first century: not just an aesthetic category, but a mode of political power. He demonstrates the enduring ability of performance to critique and subvert this power, examining this relationship through five `singularities' in contemporary dance: thingness, animality, persistence, darkness, and solidity.   Exploring the works of Mette Ingvartsen, Yvonne Rainer, Ralph Lemon, J?r?me Bel and others, Lepecki uses his concept of `singularity'-the resistance of categorization and aesthetic identification-to examine the function of dance and performance in political and artistic debate.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297519317365,"sku":"9781138907713","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781138907713.jpg?v=1762780757","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781138907713","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
