- Title
Performance and urban space: An ambivalent affair.
- Authors
Sachs Olsen, Cecilie
- Abstract
Artistic performance is increasingly seen as a crucial creative means of empowerment in the midst of urban transformation. However, the varied abilities of performance to challenge, or not, existing power structures are often lost in analyses that either celebrate the utopian potential of performance for challenging hegemonic oppression, or critique performance for being inevitably complicit with hegemonic sociopolitical ideologies due to its material conditions. By introducing a neo‐Marxist critical framework that focuses on the interplay between socio‐material conditions and performance, this paper promotes a nuanced analytic strategy for examining the relation between performance and urban space.
