<p>In<i> Choreographing Agonism</i>, author Goran Petrović 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, Petrović Lotina forcefully argues for a re-imagining of artistic performance as an instrument of democracy capable of contesting a dominant politics.</p><p>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.</p><p><i>Choreographing Agonism</i> makes a bold and innovative contribution to the discussion of political and philosophical thought in the field of Performance Studies.<br></p><p></p>

<p>“Original, erudite, and timely, this book pushes performance studies beyond anarchic and absolute models of democracy and toward agonistic perspectives that engage political institutions. Providing a rigorous analysis of competing political, economic, and philosophical perspectives, Goran Petrović-Lotina encourages a rethinking of the relationship between politics, performance, and performance theory.”</p>
