RoseLee Goldberg - A Arte da Performance: do Futurismo ao Presente

A Arte da Performance: do Futurismo ao Presente is a classic. Tracing the history of performance in the West from its origins with Alfred Jarry's Rei Ubu and the Italian Futurists to the contemporary works of the American Matthew Barney, RoseLee Goldberg pioneers the historical and conceptual evolution of this artistic discipline.

First published in 1979, and extensively illustrated, this book has been the subject of successive editions (constantly updated by the author) and is now essential reading in performance studies. This 2nd Portuguese edition includes a new chapter dedicated to the first decade of the 21st century. In it, the author discusses the global impact of September 11 and analyzes the work of performers from various parts of the world, such as Yugoslav Marina Abramovic, Iranian Shirin Neshat, Chinese Zhang Huan and South African Nandipha Mntambo.
