Synopsis

Archaeologies of Presence shows how the performance of presence can be understood in relationships between performance theory and archaeological thinking. Focusing on the conditions that shape experiences of presence through acts of performance, the work considers a number of important concepts: the performer's negotiation of the tenses of place and time; the actor's subjection to the gaze; the reading of the body in performance; and a presence encountered in the traces of performance. It offers a new, radical and rewarding bridge between these two disciplines.
