Aufzeichnen und Erinnern. Performance Chronik Basel (1987–2006)

Die ausgehenden 1980er und beginnenden 1990er Jahre bedeuten eine wichtige Zäsur in der Performance Kunst. Erstmals wird dies in der Publikation »Out of Actions« auf den Punkt gebracht. Zahlreiche Performance-Künstler_innen wenden sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt »aktuellen« Medien wie Video oder Installation zu oder übertragen performative Verfahren in tradierte Medien wie Zeichnung und Malerei. Dies geschieht mit der Absicht, herkömmliche Gattungsgrenzen in Theater, Musik, Tanz und den audiovisuellen Künsten zu überschreiten – die »Transformation der Aktion« ist das grosse Thema. Zur...

On Withdrawal—Scenes of Refusal, Disappearance, and Resilience in Art and Cultural Practices

How can withdrawal—meaning either that which withdraws itself, or which is being withdrawn—be represented, thus made visible and negotiable? This publication takes this paradox as its starting point, which remains present as a tension throughout. The book aims to draw constellations of different instances of withdrawal, ranging from passivity, failure, and refusal to disappearance and remembrance and to resilience and resistance.

The idea that terrorism and other forms of political violence are directly related to strains caused by strongly held grievances has been one of the most common explanations to date and can be traced to a diverse set of theoretical concepts including relative deprivation, social disorganization, breakdown, tension, and anomie.

Terrorism has been historically more successful when it was not...
