In Choreographing Agonism, author Goran Petrovi¿ Lotina offers new insight into the connections between politics and performance. Exploring the political and philosophical roots of a number of recent leftist civil movements, Petrovi¿ Lotina forcefully argues for a re-imagining of artistic performance as an instrument of democracy capable of contesting a dominant politics.Inspired by post-Marxist theories of discourse theory, hegemony, conflict, and pluralism, and using tension as a guiding philosophical, political, and artistic force, the book expands the politico-philosophical debate on theories of performance. It offers both scholars and practitioners of performance a thought-provoking analysis of the ways in which artistic performance can be viewed politically as ¿agonistic choreo-political practice,¿ a powerful strategy for mobilising alternative ways of living together and invigorating democracy.Choreographing Agonism makes a boldand innovative contribution to the discussion of political and philosophical thought in the field of Performance Studies.
