Für eine Ästhetik des Performativen

Performing the Digital : Performance Studies and Performances in Digital Cultures

“…As the prevalence of the terms 'ubiquitous' and 'pervasive' in conjunction with technologies, media and computing indicates (Ekman 2013), life is embedded in, and interwoven with, technological environments (Hörl 2013;Engemann/Sprenger 2015) -from the fiber-optic cables of the Internet to the omnipresence of intelligent artifacts that can, in part, communicate with one another without the intervention of human subjects. As a result, the book is Fischer-Lichte 2004) needs to embrace its own 'technological turn'. The following essays explore different forms, registers and understandings of technological cum social performativity.…”

“…With this prefix the discourse turns into a dispositif, illustrated and exemplified by the magical world of ubiquitous computing created by Rich Gold at the beginning of the 1990s. It is not by chance that great similarities appear in the descriptions of Erika Fischer-Lichte (2004) when she talks about the enchanting performativity of artistic performances.…”

“…(Gold 2002: 66) Rich Gold's ubiquitous worlds can be seen as performative (McGonical 1999: 8), when applying the criteria laid out in the previous chapters. Firstly, the technological performances bring about liminal experiences (Fischer-Lichte 2004). Secondly, the action they constitute is always a repetition (Krämer 2002), in Gold's case, repeated actions with commonplace objects and toys, and lastly, the symbolic and practical levels collapse into one.…”

“…A lack of differentiation is no longer the exception -just as Austin had explicated through the conception of 'action language' -but has become the status quo. The magical wonderland of theatrical sciences and artistic performance respectively (in the opinion of Erika Fischer-Lichte, 2004), as well as the world of ubiquitous computing, undergo a joint venture and, in doing so, promote and enable each other.…”

Historical anthropology. New perspectives in the foundations and conditions of education

“…Dans la perspective de l'étude anthropologique du corps humain, cinq directions de recherche interdisciplinaire présentent aujourd'hui un intérêt tout particulier : la dématérialisation de la perception et de l'expérience du corps humain dans le contexte des nouveaux médias (Belting, 2001 ;Belting & Kamper, 2000 ;Mollenhauer & Wulf, 1996 ;Schäfer & Wulf, 1999) ; la technologisation du vivant et le déplacement de la limite entre le corps et la machine dans les organes internes ainsi que le développement des techniques de génération et de reproduction (Berr, 1990 ;List & Fiala, 1997 ;MeyerDrawe, 1996 ;Stafford, 1991) ; la fragmentarisation du corps humain dans la publicité et les nouveaux médias et les formes qui lui sont liées de fétichisation et d'érotisation de parties du corps (Benthien & Wulf, 2001) ; la sexualité du corps et la sexualisation de sa condition historique et culturelle (Butler, 1997(Butler, , 1998Lindemann, 1993 ;List, 1993) ; la performativité du corps humain et de la production culturelle (Fischer-Lichte & Wulf, 2001, 2004Wulf et al, 2001 (Tomasello, 2002, p. 189).…”
