Montažstroj's emancipatory performance politics : never mind the score / Leo Rafolt.

Preamble: performance as revolt, and the scums of history -- Perpetual dynamism of labored bodies: from the intrusion into the institution -- Meyerhold bound, and the barbaric discipline of the machine -- Topography of excess, or the profanation of performative risk -- Messianic time, and decay of the post-Yugoslav idea -- Queer immanence, and technocentric utopia of the master and the slave -- On emancipation politics: public sphere between irruption and institution -- Emancipate, participate, or else: not every performance is a democratic regime -- On obstinacy, minoritarianism, and the performance gaze -- Performance of/or debt: the economy's frank face -- Terror of acceptance: mass-murders and political dystopia.

"This book deals with the broader theoretical and philosophical context of performance art in former Yugoslavia. It focuses on the politically engaged performance activity of the Montažstroj group, putting it in the context of terrorism, globalism, radical democratic regimes, and identity politics"-- Provided by publisher.
