Set against a contemporary South African society that is chronologically ?post? apartheid, but one that continues to grapple with material redress, land redistribution and systemic racism, Acts of Transgression finds a representation of the complexity of this moment within the rich potential of a performative art form that transcends disciplinary boundaries and aesthetic conventions. The collection probes live art?s intersection with crisis and sociopolitical turbulence, shifting notions of identity and belonging, embodied trauma and loss, questions of archive, memory and the troubling of colonial systems of knowing, an interrogation of narratives of the past and visions for the future. These diverse essays, analysing the work of more than 25 contemporary South African artists and accompanied by a striking visual record of more than 50 photographs, represent the first major critical study of contemporary live art in South Africa; a study that is as timeous as it is imperative. 606 $aPerformance art 606 $aPerformance artists$vDrama 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPerformance art. 615 0$aPerformance artists 676 $a700.904 702 $aPather$b Jay 702 $aBoulle$b Catherine 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467537903321 996 $aActs of transgression$92260347 997 $aUNINA
