Harding, have suggested a unified history or theory of the avant-garde. His book examines the diversity and plurality of avant-garde gestures and expressions to suggest "avant-garde pluralities" and how an appreciation of these pluralities enables a more dynamic and increasingly global understanding of vanguardism in the performing arts. In pursuing this goal, the book not only surveys a wide variety of canonical and noncanonical examples of avant-garde performance, but also develops a range of theoretical paradigms that defend the haunting cultural and political significance of avant-garde expressions beyond what critics have presumed to be the death of the avant-garde. The Ghosts of the Avant-Garde(s) offers a strikingly new perspective not only on key controversies and debates within avant-garde studies but also on contemporary forms of avant-garde expression within a global political economy"--Provided by publisher.Experimental theaterHistory and criticismExperimental dramaHistory and criticismElectronic books.Experimental theaterHistory and criticism.Experimental dramaHistory and criticism.792.02/23Harding James Martin1958-973908Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463462303321The ghosts of the avant-garde(s)2216695UNINA02130nam 2200553Ia 450 991078287930332120230721004953.01-74223-056-3(CKB)1000000000718650(EBL)421319(OCoLC)476256025(SSID)ssj0000362369(PQKBManifestationID)11267689(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000362369(PQKBWorkID)10363387(PQKB)11386936(MiAaPQ)EBC421319(Au-PeEL)EBL421319(CaPaEBR)ebr10351543(EXLCZ)99100000000071865020090122d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLaw in perspective[electronic resource] ethics, society and critical thinking /Michael Head and Scott Mann2nd ed.Sydney, AU UNSW Press20091 online resource (558 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-921410-80-9 Contents; Preface; Introduction; Law, logic and science; Law, ethics and social theory; Law and contemporary social problems; Notes; IndexLaw in Perspective is intended to encourage critical, responsible and creative thinking about law as a system of ideas and a social institution.
