Performing Institutions is now available!
Edited by Anja Mølle Lindelof and Shauna Janssen
Performing Institutions: Contested Sites and Structures of Care builds upon scholarly work rooted in the social and cultural histories of education, self-organization, activist practices, performance, design and artistic research, (at)tending to the ways that institutions are necessarily political and performed.
By evoking the idea of ‘performing institutions’, it foregrounds all kinds of ‘actors’ that engage with (re)imagining creative practices – social, artistic and pedagogical – that critically interact with institutional frameworks, as well as the broader local and global society of which these institutions are part. With case studies and critical reflections from Denmark, Ireland, Finland, the UK, Canada, the USA, Chile, Asia and Australasia, contributors show how they envision or pursue performing artistic, cultural, social and educational practices as caring engagements with contested sites.
