{"product_id":"performance-transparency-and-the-cultures-james-m-harding-9780472130740","title":"Performance, Transparency, and the Cultures of Surveillance","description":"Placing the disciplines of performance studies and surveillance studies in a timely critical dialogue, \u003ci\u003ePerformance, Transparency, and the Cultures of Surveillance\u003c\/i\u003e not only theorizes how surveillance performs but also how the technologies and corresponding cultures of surveillance alter the performance of everyday life. This exploration draws upon a rich array of examples from theatre, performance, and the arts, all of which provide vivid illustration of the book's central argument: that the rise of the surveillance society coincides with a profound collapse of democratic oversight and transparency--a collapse that, in turn, demands a radical rethinking of how performance practitioners conceptualize art and its political efficacy. The book thus makes the case that artists and critics must reexamine--indeed, must radically redefine--their notions of performance if they are to mount any meaningful counter to the increasingly invasive surveillance society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James M.
