  1. April 2020 – Henry Daniel: The Human Body Moving as Analogy for Thought Unfolding

Der Vortrag von Henry Daniel bietet eine andere Art des Denkens über Performance-as-Research, künstlerische Forschung oder Research-Creation. Er bezieht sich auch auf Daniels aktuelles Forschungsprojekt "Contemporary Nomads" als eine praktische Art und Weise des Umgangs mit einer zutiefst philosophischen Frage.

PreLecture-Text von Henry Daniel Den Abstract des Vortrags finden Sie auf der Website der mdw. Feedback an Henry Daniel kann gern an knowinginperforming@mdw.ac.at geschickt werden.

nómadas

A live performance and audio/video installation, nómadas takes it inspiration from the current large-scale movements of bodies across international spaces as a type of chaotic transnational choreography that speaks to what cultural theorist Stuart Hall calls, a "contemporary travelling, voyaging and return as fate, as destiny […] as the prototype of the modern or postmodern New World nomad, continually moving between centre and periphery” (Hall in Rutherford, J. 234:1990).

nómadas is part of the larger, long term Contemporary Nomads research project, which explores the "deep fragmentation which exists between communities within as well as outside national borders, between nationalized and personalized bodies, and between social and political institutions and the ordinary people they were meant to serve." (Daniel, 2017).
