About the Book
In The Aesthetics of the Performative, Erika Fischer-Lichte explores the evolution of performance as a distinct art form. This groundbreaking book examines the emergence of performance art, placing it on an equal footing with traditional art objects and ushering in a new era of aesthetics.
The book highlights how performance art creates a unique mode of experience—one that blurs the lines between artist and audience, mind and body, art and life. Fischer-Lichte frames this phenomenon as the foundation for a deeper understanding of performing arts and their broader social and cultural implications.
With an introduction by Marvin Carlson, this work provides valuable insights into the world of performance art, experimental theatre, and cultural performances. It opens up a new avenue for appreciating the "art event" as a transformative experience that goes beyond mere spectacle.
Ideal for students, scholars, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of art and life, this book is an essential read for those seeking to engage with the evolving landscape of contemporary performance.
