La danse, devenue art autonome au tournant du xxe siècle, confronte la pensée esthétique à ses propres limites ; elle remet en question le rapport moderne qui lie l’art et ses genres, et la prédominance du modèle de l’œuvre pour penser l’expérience artistique. La danse serait-elle le paradigme esthétique du xxe siècle, c’est-à-dire la voie incontournable pour accéder aux problèmes philosophiques que pose l’art dans son évolution ? L’émergence de la danse contemporaine est directement liée à la conquête d’un geste libre. Le geste dansé s’affranchit des formes conventionnelles qui s’imposaient à lui et le réglaient auparavant dans la tradition du ballet classique. L’improvisation est un moment crucial dans cette mutation, dans la mesure où elle n’est plus seulement une variation sur des schémas préexistants mais trouve désormais une valeur constituante. Le geste semble procéder de lui-même, ne provenir de rien, dans une sorte de miracle qu’il faut interroger. Le présent livre questionne la danse, sous sa forme contemporaine, dans une perspective non dogmatique. Il ne s’agit pas d’appliquer à la danse des catégories toutes faites et forgées en dehors d’elle, mais de construire les modalités d’un questionnement ancré sur les formes multiples et concrètes de son devenir. Le parcours théorique, qui réunit philosophes et artistes, envisage le geste dansé sous l’angle de son effectuation, de son expressivité, et de son rapport conflictuel à l’œuvre chorégraphique comme fixation paradoxale de l’éphémère.

"Examining materials from early modern and contemporary North India and Pakistan, Tellings and Texts brings together seventeen first-rate papers on the relations between written and oral texts, their performance, and the musical traditions these performances have entailed. The contributions from some of the best scholars in the field cover a wide range of literary genres and social and cultural contexts across the region. The texts and practices are contextualized in relation to the broader social and political background in which they emerged, showing how religious affiliations, caste dynamics and political concerns played a role in shaping social identities as well as aesthetic sensibilities. By doing so this book sheds light into theoretical issues of more general significance, such as textual versus oral norms; the features of oral performance and improvisation; the role of the text in performance; the aesthetics and social dimension of performance; the significance of space in performance history and important considerations on repertoires of story-telling. Tellings and Texts is essential reading for anyone with an interest in South Asian culture and, more generally, in the theory and practice of oral literature, performance and story-telling."

Dance practice is gaining just as much in importance in research as it is becoming a kind of research in itself. Choreography, improvisation and exploration are expanding conventional discursive methods of knowledge generation and transfer to incorporate aesthetic dimensions of movement, corporeality, sensuality and emotion. This volume, with its interdisciplinary structure, provides an insight into the multi-faceted trend of research approaches that have either developed directly from, or refer back to, dance practice. Using projects as concrete examples, the contributions in this volume present theoretical and methodological foundations and historical connections advances in knowledge.

Während die epischen Lieder bereits seit längerer Zeit Gegenstand intensiver wissenschaftlicher Forschung sind, fanden die lyrischen Lieder in letzter Zeit in stärkerem Maße Beachtung. Eine besondere Form dieser letzteren Volkslied-Liebeslyrik stellt die Sevdalinka dar, deren Hauptmotive Liebessehnsucht, -trennung und -enttäuschung, seltener Liebeserfüllung sind.

Um in komplexen und dynamischen Umwelten agieren und diese aktiv gestalten zu können, sind formalisierte Arbeitsabläufe und geronnene Strukturen oft nicht hilfreich. Wir benötigen ein performatives, fließendes Verständnis von Organisation und die Beherrschung agiler Prozesse: Das oft versteckte Erfahrungswissen (tacit knowing) wird zur Grundlage der heute benötigten »Kunst« der Improvisation. Die Beiträge zeigen: Implizites und intuitives, vorausschauendes Wissen und experimentierend-spielerisches Handeln sind die Grundlage für Innovation und agiles Lernen in Organisationen und sozialen Systemen. In der Analyse von »organizational patterns« und »musikalischem Denken« entsteht ein neues Verständnis flexibler und dynamischer Organisationen.

Das kritische Potenzial des Bühnentanzes wird meist in der Aufführung lokalisiert. Diese Studie zeigt, dass es bereits im künstlerischen Schaffensprozess zu verorten ist. Am Beispiel von Xavier Le Roy und Thomas Lehmen werden choreographische Arbeitsweisen vorgestellt, die Kritik an den Produktionsbedingungen von Tanz üben. Während das Feld kultureller Produktion in der Tanzforschung überwiegend ausgeklammert bleibt, wird es hier mitgedacht und zwar als konstitutiv für die »kritische Praxis«. Ziel ist es, mit Hilfe von Konzepten der Kritik aus Kultur- und Kunsttheorie, einen vergemeinschaftlichten Kritikbegriff im zeitgenössischen Tanz zu bestimmen.

There are some strange stories heard in Viennese jazz scene. Already in the second half of the 1950s, two art students, who were in touch with painters like Arnulf Rainer, Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Ernst Fuchs, experimented with free improvisation – years before this music had a name even in the country of its origin, in the USA. Already in 1961, they did their first official concert – which might be not only the first Austrian free jazz concert, but one of the first performances of this music in whole Europe. While running an own gallery between 1959 and 1965 and hosting the whole Viennese art scene, they continued to develop their music. It wasn’t until 1966 that they had their first Viennese concert as “Masters of Unorthodox Jazz” (MoUJ), and, finally, the year 1969 brought a (modest) breaktrough with a scandalized appearance at the Austrian jazz festival at Vienna Konzerthaus and the release of their first record “Overground” – with cover art by Arnulf Rainer. The art scene remained the main audience until the end of the MoUJ in 1975: There were concerts at the Viennese “Museum of 20th century”, there was a second record with a provocative cover by Franz Ringel. Composers like Kurt Schwertsik and Otto M. Zykan showed interest in this unique free improvised music, Austria’s most famous photographer Franz Hubmann took photos, avantgarde filmmaker Kurt Kren used parts of his MoUJ concert-films for his experimental works. Another group, the “Reform Art Unit” (RAU) led by multi-instrumentalist Fritz Novotny until today, took over the torch. They came out of another non-music scene: the so-called “Freundeskreis” (circle of friends) around writer Rolf Schwendter. Partly in touch with the MoUJ, the RAU developed a completely different style of free improvisation, on the one hand inspired by contemporary Austrian composers (Giselher Smekal, Günther Rabl, Mia Zabelka), on the other hand by oriental music: The debut “Darjeeling” (1970) was recorded with Indian sitar player Ram Chandra Mistry. In later years they became aware of their personal connections to twelve-tone composer Josef Matthias Hauer, filling the term of “Viennese school of improvised music” with sonic contents. This work tries to point out the historic chronology of these two groundbreaking but internationally little known groups a) within the context of Austrian jazz history and b) within the context of European free jazz, which is called the movement of double liberation, due to the fact that many improvisers of the Old World for the first time stopped imitating American musicians and became aware of their own cultural roots. So this book reveals an unusual perspective on Austrian cultural history after 1945.

This book examines the relevance of artistic practices in the current debate about the integration of de facto refugees in Europe, and also in the actual integration of refugee artists into the social fabric and the artistic scene. It looks at the role of arts (music, theatre, literature, etc.) in the solidarity movements in favor of refugees occurring in a number of European cities. It also examines the trajectory of refugee artists and their strategies to claim a position in their new society and artistic scene. The included chapters represent different disciplines and different theoretical perspectives (social movement theories, social mobilization theories, and cultural participation theories
