Through a post-1968 perspective on the past 50 years, Performing Memory brings together case studies on new developments in the relationship between politics and visual representation—including the histories of dance, theatre, political performance and cinema—and investigates how they relate to the interlinked concepts of visuality, corporeality and mobility. Using a collective transdisciplinary attitude from within historical disciplines, and looking across to artistic fields, this volume demonstrates that memory is not merely a recollection of experience but an interactive process, in which the body, mobile and constrained, is both a point of departure and reference.

Industry Reviews

""This is an excellent collection of writings on the performance of cultural memory since 1968, in varied European and North Atlantic contexts...Based on Passerini's extensive work on cultural memory, subjectivity and visuality, this volume extends the frame of cultural work into historical conflicts, erasures and negative constraints against performativity when bodies are trapped in conflicts, in prisons, and corporeality prevents the full expression of memory (Reinisch)." â¢ Mary Marshall Clark, Columbia University
