Lucia Rainer

Opis

In this in-depth analysis of artistic and academic lectures and performances, Lucia Rainer features an innovative conceptual and methodological tool that augments Goffman's frame analysis with a praxeological perspective. She gives profound insight into how knowledge as a practice and a concept is associated with clarity rather than truth. Based on four case studies, including John Cage's unpublished and unabridged audio recording of Lecture on Nothing, the study explores how the concept of lecture performances, which adheres to two frames that never entirely blend, provides a space to (re-)negotiate the artistic-academic relationship.
