Opis

Choreographies of the Living explores the shift from viewing art as an exclusively human undertaking to recognizing it as an activity that all living creatures enact. Carrie Rohman's bioaesthetic framework describes how art-making binds us to other animals in literature, visual art, dance, and performance.

Recenzje

Given its clear, accessible style and its focus on engagements with animality in 20th- and 21st- century literature, art, and performance, Choreographies of the Living promises to have broad appeal for specialists and students across the arts and humanities...This watershed study will be relevant not only for readers based in animal studies and modernist, postmodernist, and/or contemporary literature, but also for readers interested in dance, theater and performance studies, cultural studies, history, and philosophy.
