It critically revises the figure of the \"cyborg\", central to posthumanist thinking and performance, and proposes an alternative figure through which to think about and create with technology: the \"apparatus\". It draws on the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben, Donna Haraway and other contemporary thinkers of ecology and technology; recent philosophical theories, such as speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, dark ecology and new materialism; as well as the work of  leading contemporary performance makers, such as Kris Verdonck, Mette Ingvartsen, Guemhyung Jeong, Romeo Castellucci and Okada Toshiki.  Through doing so, the book captures an important shift away from anthropocentrism and the consequences for the dramaturgies that subsequently unfold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41608216182881,"sku":"9781350347359","price":91.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350347359-figures-of-posthumanism-in-contemporary-performance-from-cyborg-to-the-apparatus","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
