This provocative book meets the supposedly 'live' practices of performance and the 'no-longer-live' historical past at their own dangerous crossroads. Focussing on the 'and' of the title, it addresses the tangled relations between the terms, practices, ideas, and aims embedded in these compatriot - but often oppositional - arts and acts of time.

Performing Remains: Art and War in Times of Theatrical Reenactment

'At last, the past has arrived! Performing Remains is Rebecca Schneider's authoritative statement on a major topic of interest to the field of theatre and performance studies. It extends and consolidates her pioneering contributions to the field through its interdisciplinary method, vivid writing, and stimulating polemic. Performing Remains has been eagerly awaited, and will be appreciated now and in the future for its rigorous investigations into the aesthetic and political potential of reenactments.' - Tavia Nyong'o, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University 'I have often wondered where the big, important, paradigm-changing book about re-enactment is: Schneider’s book seems to me to be that book. Her work is challenging, thoughtful and innovative and will set the agenda for study in a number of areas for the next decade.' - Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester Performing Remains is a dazzling new study exploring the role of the fake, the false and the faux in contemporary performance. Rebecca Schneider argues passionately that performance can be engaged as what remains, rather than what disappears. Across seven essays, Schneider presents a forensic and unique examination of both contemporary and historical performance, drawing on a variety of elucidating sources including the "America" plays of Linda Mussmann and Suzan-Lori Parks, performances of Marina Abramovic´ and Allison Smith, and the continued popular appeal of Civil War reenactments. Performing Remains questions the importance of representation throughout history and today, while boldly reassessing the ritual value of failure to recapture the past and recreate the "original."

The Explicit Body in Performance

<div> Engaging with remains and remainders of media cultures As new, as current, as now--this is primarily our understanding of technologies and their mediating of our social constructions. But past media and past practices continue to haunt and inflect our present social and technical arrangements. To trace this haunting, two performance theorists and a media theorist engage in this volume with remains and remainders of media cultures through the lenses of theatre and performance studies and of media archaeology. They address the temporalities and materialities of remain(s), the production of obsolescence in relation to the live body, and considerations of cultural memory as well as of infrastructure and the natural history of media culture. </div>

Im vorliegenden Buch werden Wissensentwicklungsprozesse von Schüler*innen der Grundschule bei der Bearbeitung empirischer Settings untersucht und dabei eine Beschreibung des für die Schüler*innen rekonstruierbaren mathematischen Wissens vorgenommen. Zur Untersuchung wird ein erkenntnistheoretisches Instrumentarium eingesetzt, welches das Konzept der Subjektiven Erfahrungsbereiche mit dem Konzept der empirischen Theorien verbindet und die Grundlage für die hier gewonnen Erkenntnisse darstellt. Am Beispiel des Maßstabsbegriff wird aufgezeigt, dass zahlreiche klassische Aufgabenstellungen eine Quantifizierung maßstabsgetreuer Längen fokussieren, die für Schülerinnen und Schüler der Grundschule jedoch problematisch ist. Darüber hinaus wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern eine durch die Lehrkraft eingenommene Erwartungshaltung an die Bearbeitungswege von Schülerinnen und Schülern Wissensentwicklungsprozesse beeinflussen kann und welche Bedeutung der physikalischen Repräsentation empirischer Objekte für die Wissensentwicklung von Schülerinnen und Schüler der Grundschule zukommt.

The Port Huron Project is a series of reenactments of Vietnam-era protest speeches staged between 2006 and 2008 by artist Mark Tribe. The original speeches were given by Angela Davis in Oakland, Cesar Chavez in Los Angeles, Stokely Carmichael in New York, Paul Potter in Washington, D.C., Howard Zinn in Boston and Coretta Scott King in New York. Each event took place at the site of the original speech, and was delivered by an actor or performance artist to an audience of invited guests and passersby. Videos of these performances have been shown at museums, galleries, universities and even on a giant video screen in Times Square. This book features transcripts of the original speeches, photographs of the reenactments, archival photographs of the original speakers, critical essays by Nato Thompson (a curator at Creative Time) and Rebecca Schneider (Chair of the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies at Brown University) and a statement by the artist.
