Montažstroj’s Emancipatory Performance Politics
Lexington Books/Fortress Academic (Verlag)
978-1-6669-2117-5 (ISBN)
This book deals with the broader theoretical and philosophical context of the performance art in former Yugoslavia, focusing on more than three decades of politically engaged performance activity of the Montažstroj group. Their activity is only a starting point for a deeper analysis of some of the key-notions of contemporary “art-ivism” in a much broader post-political and globalized context before, during, and after Yugoslavia and its Socialist paradigm collapsed. The author analyzes and sets notions of agonism, engagement, terrorism, post-war trauma, political populism, social Darwinism, participation and publicness, and the public sphere into different theoretical matrixes.
Leo Rafolt teaches performance studies, cultural theory, and theoretical dramaturgy, as a full professor, at the Academy of Arts and Culture of Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek, Croatia.
