{"product_id":"beyond-text-jennifer-buckley-9780472074259","title":"Beyond Text: Theater and Performance in Print After 1900","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaking up the work of prominent theater and performance artists, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Text\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the audacity and beauty of avant-garde performance in print. With extended analyses of the works of Edward Gordon Craig, German expressionist Lothar Schreyer, the Living Theatre, Carolee Schneemann, and Guillermo G mez-Pe a, the book shows how live performance and print aesthetically revived one another during a period in which both were supposed to be in a state of terminal cultural decline. While the European and American avant-gardes did indeed dismiss the dramatic author, they also adopted print as a theatrical medium, altering the status, form, and function of text and image in ways that continue to impact both the performing arts and the book arts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Text\u003c\/i\u003e participates in the ongoing critical effort to unsettle conventional historical and theoretical accounts of text-performance relations, which have too often been figured in binary, chronological (\"from page to stage\"), or hierarchical terms. Across five case studies spanning twelve decades, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Text\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that print--as noun and verb--has been integral to the practices of modern and contemporary theater and performance artists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Buckley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472074253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472074259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Jennifer Buckley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919898771711,"sku":"9780472074259","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b15a7f97-8eae-4a9b-8cf1-ebba92442876.jpg?v=1680812521","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-text-jennifer-buckley-9780472074259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
