Body, Camera, Action: Understanding the Metamorphosis of Performance Art in Japan
Melnikova, Daria, «Body, Camera, Action: Understanding the Metamorphosis of Performance Art in Japan». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2018 Abstract This dissertation is a study of the specific medium “performance art” (pafōmansu āto) in Japan, situated in the transnational and comparative context of the 1960s and the 2010s. Extensively drawing on the art criticism of Akiyama Kuniharu, Ishiko Junzō, Sawaragi Noi, Tōno Yoshiaki, Tone Yasunao, and Yoshida Yoshie, this research investigates the discursive space of performance that constructs a multiplicity of historical terms such as happenings, events, festivals, spectacle. In the 1960s, the fashion of happenings (initially coined by American artist Allan Kaprow) spread outside of artistic institutions such…

Circulating the event: the social life of performance documentation, 1965–1975
Santone, Jessica Lynne, «Circulating the event: the social life of performance documentation, 1965–1975». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2011 Abstract This dissertation reevaluates the relationship between performance acts and documents by considering the way documentation was understood within the time of an event. Expanding on Alain Badiou’s theory of evental ‘Twoness’ in Being and Event, I develop an approach to performance that always takes documents and performance acts together, as corresponding producers of an art event. Looking at acts and documents together, one notices how the type of repetition enacted between them allows for variation and novelty in an event. One important implication of this approach is a stronger…

Théatralité: Analyse d’une notion critique à travers trois média et époques (roman, peinture et cinéma aux XVIIIe, XIXe et XXe siècles)
Polanz, Dorothee, «Théatralité: Analyse d’une notion critique à travers trois média et époques (roman, peinture et cinéma aux XVIIIe, XIXe et XXe siècles)». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2010 Abstract I argue that the notion of “theatricality,” though it has been frequently used as an interpretive tool in critical discourse on various artistic and literary forms (novels, poetry, painting, fashion, film, etc.) remains ill defined. Moreover, it appears obvious that theatricality does not, in fact, manifest itself in the same way in all genres and media where critics attempt to use it as an interpretive tool. A double question thus informs my research: how legitimate is the use of…

Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage : Theatricals in a Quiet Life
Foulkes, Richard, Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage : Theatricals in a Quiet Life, Routledge, 2017 Abstract Author of the enduringly popular Alice books, mathematician, Anglican cleric, and pioneer photographer, Lewis Carroll maintained a lifelong enthusiasm for the theatre. Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage is the first book to focus on Carroll’s irresistible fascination with all things theatrical, from childhood charades and marionettes to active involvement in the dramatisation of Alice, influential contributions to the debate on child actors, and the friendship of leading players, especially Ellen Terry. As well as being a key to his complex and enigmatic personality, Carroll’s interest in the theatre provides a vivid account…
