Focus 2

Ontological debates and epistemological perspectives on performance:
Disappearance, reappearance, immediate experience and memory.

The performance as an epistemological lens: the study of events as performances. The ontological question and the debate on the ephemeral aspect of performance: the performance is so in its disappearance or in its many ways of remaining? Archive fever and documentation processes: the encyclopedic urge versus the random, contingent and asystemic aspect of performance. Does the dematerialization of the artistic object necessarily mean its impermanence? Performance as a different way of remaining and as the means of reappearance itself: a form of archive. Discussing the technologies to document liveness. The body as a place of collective memory. Preservation based on body memory. Staging or embodying? A phenomenological approach to the performing arts.
