Descriere & specificații

On Generosity offers critical examinations of the ethics and practices of generosity, as well as generosity’s inherent performativity. Without recourse to a naive faith in its potential, but also without devolving into cynicism about its limits, this volume takes a fresh look at how generosity appears in performance and how generosity is performed. Contributors analyse practices and discourses of generosity in political and economic interventions, in everyday life, in social practice art and as represented in theatrical performances. Generosity is considered as a performative relation, and the volume includes enquiries into the generosity and generativity that may lie at the heart of performance itself. This is amplified in a special showcase section, ‘Cabinet of Generosities’, which proliferates examples of performance works that engage generosity as practice and as theme.EditorialLaurie Beth Clark, Michael PetersonA Rhapsody For YouHelen ParisTo Offer/To Exchange : A conversationLauren van Haaften-Schick, Charles SimondsToxic Colonialism and the Gesture of GenerosityJisha MenonTo Be UndonePatrick AndersonWhole Parts : On rupture and the other side of generosity [artists' pages]Jeannine ShinodaHave I Done Enough? : Lin-Manuel Miranda and Hamilton’s culture of generosityLaura MacDonaldPerforming Philanthropy from Andrew Carnegie to Bill GatesAlisa ZhulinaRadical Care : Performative generosity and generativity in Third TheatreJane Turner, Patrick CampbellAssister au Spectacle
