Enacting History is a collection of new essays exploring the world of historical performances. The volume focuses on performances outside the traditional sphere of theatre, among them living history museums, battle reenactments, pageants, renaissance festivals, and adventure-tourism destinations. This volume argues that the recent surge in such performances have raised significant questions about the need for, interest in, and value of such nontraditional theater. Many of these performances claim a greater or lesser degree of historical ""accuracy"" or ""authenticity,"" and the aut

"This collection of original essays brings together museum, theatre and performance case studies with a focus on their distinctive and overlapping modes of producing memory for transnational audiences. Whether this is through narrative, object, embodied encounter or a combination of the three, the book considers distinctions and interactions between memory and history specifically through the lenses of theatre and performance studies, visual culture, and museum and curator studies. This book is underpinned by three areas of research enquiry: How are contemporary theatre makers and museum curators staging historical narratives of difficult pasts? How might comparisons between theatre and museum practices offer new insights into the role objects play in generating and representing difficult pasts? What points of overlap, comparison and contrast among these constructions of history and memory of authoritarianism, slavery, colonialism, genocide, armed conflict, fascism and communism might offer an expanded understanding of difficult pasts in these transnational cultural contexts? This collection is designed for any scholar of its central disciplines, as well as for those interested in cultural geography, memory studies, and postcolonial theory"--

In Europe, Indian hobbyism, or Indianism, has developed out of a strong fascination with Native American life in the 18th and 19th centuries. "Indian hobbyists" dress in homemade replicas of clothing, craft museum-quality replicas of artifacts, meet in fields dotted with teepees and re-enact aspects of the North American Indian lifestyle, using ethnographies, travel diaries, and museum collections as resources. Grounded in fieldwork set among networks of Indian hobbyists in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the Czech Republic, this ethnography analyzes this contemporary practice o

Der Begriff »Reenactment« (engl. to reenact: nachstellen, wieder in Kraft setzen) bezeichnet eine ästhetische Praxis der Wiederaufführung und des Nachstellens historischer Ereignisse. Heike Engelke untersucht einen Paradigmenwechsel in der Diskussion von nachstellenden Strategien als künstlerischen Zugang zu Geschichte und ihren Ereignissen. Sie plädiert für die Ausarbeitung eines Vokabulars zu deren Beschreibung - mit dem Ziel, sich nicht in der Diagnose einer naiven Vergegenwärtigung oder eines kritischen Surplus in der spezifischen Wiederholung des Reenactment zu erschöpfen. Vielmehr gilt es, der vielschichtigen Verhandlung des Vergangenen innerhalb der Gegenwartskunst gerecht zu werden.
