{"product_id":"9783030794453","title":"Choreographing Agonism : Politics, Strategies and Performances of the Left by Goran Petrovic-Lotina","description":"In Choreographing Agonism, author Goran Petrovic Lotina offers new insight into the connections between politics and performance. Exploring the political and?philosophical roots of a number of recent leftist civil movements, Petrovic Lotina forcefully argues for a re-imagining of artistic performance as an instrument of?democracy capable of contesting a dominant politics.   Inspired by post-Marxist theories of discourse theory, hegemony, conflict, and pluralism, and using tension as a guiding philosophical, political, and artistic?force, the book expands the politico-philosophical debate on theories of performance. It offers both scholars and practitioners of performance a thought-provoking?analysis of the ways in which artistic performance can be viewed politically as `agonistic choreo-political practice,' a powerful strategy for mobilising alternative ways of living together and invigorating democracy.   Choreographing Agonism makes a boldand innovative contribution to the discussion of political and philosophical thought in the field of Performance Studies.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309582168437,"sku":"9783030794453","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783030794453.jpg?v=1762812443","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783030794453","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
