Performativity and Performance in Baroque Rome, Paperback / softback Book

Performativity and Performance in Baroque Rome Paperback / softback

Edited by Peter Gillgren, Marten Snickare

Part of the Visual Culture in Early Modernity series

Paperback / softback

Description

A new interest in the study of early modern ritual, ceremony, formations of personal and collective identities, social roles, and the production of meaning inside and outside the arts have made it possible to talk today about a performative turn in the humanities.

In Performativity and Performance in Baroque Rome, scholars from different fields of research explore performative aspects of Baroque culture.

With examples from the politics of diplomacy and everyday life, from theatre, music and ritual as well as from architecture, painting and sculpture the contributors demonstrate how broadly the concept of performativity has been adopted within different disciplines.
