Produktbeschreibung
In this book, scholars and artists from different fields such as performance studies, cultural and visual studies, psychology and performance art address how performances and performance practices engage with histories of violence and trauma in contemporary societies. They explore performance practices as alternative approaches to transitional justice schemes, as embodied encounters with witnesses inside and outside rehearsal spaces, and as research environments for artists working on intergenerational trauma, the legacies of colonialism and migration. The collection offers new ways of seeing, healing and remembering violence and trauma in and through contemporary performances. It challenges common assumptions about dominant and silenced narratives, as well as precarious and resilient bodies that embody performances of historical and ongoing violence and trauma.

Marieke Breyne is a performer with an MA in Educational Sciences of Ghent University and an advanced MA in Theatre Studies of Antwerp University. Pedzisai Maedza is an assistant professor in Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies at University College Dublin and Research Associate at the University of the Free State, South Africa. Christel Stalpaert is senior full professor in Performing and Media Art Studies at Ghent University. She is co-director of the research centre S:PAM (Studies in Performing Arts and Media).
