Qu'il soit aux portes ou à l intérieur de la Cité, l ennemi est une catégorie omniprésente dans le vocabulaire mémoriel comme dans le récit historique ou le discours politique. Cet ouvrage interroge sa pertinence en mettant en lumière les contextes où elle est à l Suvre de l Extrême-Orient à l Amérique espagnole, en passant par l Europe et l Afrique du Nord, au cours d une période qui va du VIe siècle av. J.-C. au XIXe siècle. Il s agit d analyser les usages que les sociétés du passé font des figures de l'ennemi, souvent réduites à de simples topoï. Objet de traitements antagonistes, entre massacre et intégration au sein des plus hautes sphères de l État, ceux que l on nomme ennemis sont parfois devenus des figures mythiques que cette enquête vise à déconstruire

Et s'il fallait aujourd'hui s'appuyer sur de tout autres principes pour penser la sexualité et la lutte contre les violences sexuelles ? C'est ce que propose Geoffroy de Lagasnerie dans ce texte qui se donne pour projet de transformer l'espace de la discussion sur les principaux enjeux de la politique de la sexualité : la domination sexuelle, le consentement, la zone grise, l'emprise, l'impunité, la parole des victimes... Un livre qui pose les bases d'une conception renouvelée, pluraliste, libératrice et non répressive, du corps, du désir et de la loi.

"This study focuses on dance as an activist practice in and of itself, across geographical locations and over the course of a century, from 1920 to 2020. Through doing so, it considers how dance has been an empowering agent for political action throughout civilisation. Dance and Activism offers a glimpse of different strategies of mobilizing the human body for good and justice for all, and captures the increasing political activism epitomized by bodies moving on the streets in some of the most turbulent political situations. This has, most recently, undoubtedly been partly owing to the rise of the far-right internationally, which has marked an increase in direct action on the streets. Offering a survey of key events across the century, such as the fall of President Zuma in South Africa; pro-reproductive rights action in Poland and Argentina; and the recent women's marches against Donald Trump's presidency, you will see how dance has become an urgent field of study. Key geographical locations are explored as sites of radical dance - the Lower East Side of New York; Gaza; Syria; Cairo, Iran; Iraq; Johannesburg - to name but a few - and get insights into some of the major figures in the history of dance, including Pearl Primus, Martha Graham, Anna Sokolow and Ahmad Joudah. Crucially, lesser or unknown dancers, who have in some way influenced politics, all over the world are brought into the limelight (the Syrian ballerinas and Hussein Smko, for example). Dance and Activism troubles the boundary between theory and practice, while presenting concrete case studies as a site for robust theoretical analysis"--

This revolutionary introductory performance studies coursebook brings together classic texts in critical theory and shows how these texts can be used in the analysis of performance. The editors put their texts to work in examining such key topics as: * decoding the sign * the politics of performance * the politics of gender and sexual identity * performing ethnicity * the performing body * the space of performance * audience and spectatorship * the borders of performance. Each reading is clearly introduced, making often complex critical texts accessible

"Uprisings spread like wildfire across the Arab world from 2010 to 2012, fueled by a desire for popular sovereignty. In Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, and elsewhere, protesters flooded the streets and the media, voicing dissent through slogans, graffiti, puppetry, videos, and satire that called for the overthrow of dictators and the regimes that sustained them. Investigating what drives people to risk everything to express themselves in rebellious art, "The Naked Blogger of Cairo" uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings. While commentators have stressed the role of social media, Marwan M. Kraidy shows that the essential medium of political expression was not cell phone texts or Twitter but something more fundamental: the human body. Brutal governments that coerced citizens through torture and rape found themselves confronted with the bodies of protesters, burning with defiance and boldly violating taboos. Activists challenged authority in brazen acts of self-immolation, nude activism, and hunger strikes. The bodies of dictators became a focus of ridicule. A Web series presented Syria's Bashar al-Assad as a pathetic finger puppet, while cartoons and videos spread a meme of Egypt's Hosni Mubarak as a regurgitating cow. The rise of digital culture complicates our understanding of the human body in revolutionary times. As Kraidy argues, technology publicizes defiance, but the body remains the vital nexus of physical struggle and digital communication, destabilizing distinctions between "the real world" and virtual reality, spurring revolutionary debates about the role of art, and anchoring Islamic State's attempted hijacking of creative insurgency."--
