Do Not Give Way to Evil
Photographs of the South Bronx, 1979–1987
Powerhouse Books, 2008 — 143 Seiten
The Bronx had almost stopped burning by 1979. The intensity and extent of the devastation permeated the landscape. It was an awesome mess, not just another neighborhood, but another realm, visible but incomprehensible. The Bronx came undone in a confluence of unfortunate circumstances: the life cycle of community, rampant city planning, economic change, racism, poverty, failed hopes, drugs, crime, abandonment, counterproductive government response. It was destroyed for profit. The entire story has yet to be told.
Performing Stories: Erzählen in Theater und Performance
Spuren lesen, Dinge sammeln, Erinnerungen kartografieren, um die Wette autobiografieren: In den performativen Künsten lassen sich eine Reihe neuer, nicht-literarischer Erzählpraktiken beobachten, die sich weder unter einer dramatischen noch einer postdramatischen Perspektive subsumieren lassen. Vor dem Hintergrund innovativer theatraler Erzählformen entwickelt Nina Tecklenburg einen alternativen Zugang zum Narrativen: Im Zentrum steht das Erzählen als sinnliche, kulturelle Praxis und als partizipatorischer, soziale Beziehungen stiftender Prozess. Das Buch liefert einen grundlegenden Beitrag zur Aufführungstheorie und zur interdisziplinären Erzählforschung.
