In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in ruins and ruination by artists and theorists. But where does our contemporary fascination with ruins come from? What are its causes and contradictions, along with its politics, economics, ecologics? \u00a0Why now? How does it relate to other historical epoques, no less beset with what Rose Macaulay termed\u00a0ruinenlust<\/em>? And, perhaps most urgently, what are we meant do with this decay? How to live in a world of ruins? While many of these questions have been approached by different disciplines and subject fields, this edition of\u00a0Performance Research<\/em>\u00a0sets out to explore the specific contribution that Theatre and Performance Studies, with its unique methodologies and practices, might make to our current obsession with ruins and ruination.\u00a0 Contributions include essays on photography, writing, theatre-making, ecology, aesthetics, autobiography, dark tourism, heritage sites and cities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Introduction The Lesson of Anatomy 1974\/2014 The Regenerative Ruination of Romeo Castellucci Ruin Lust and the Council Estate : Nostalgia and ruin in Arinze Kene\u2019s God\u2019s Property \u2018Terremoto: Utopia, memory, and the unfinished in Sicily’ Watermarked : \u2018Venice really lives up to its postcard beauty\u2019 The Ruin in Question Sites of Dereliction : Beginnings and allies of performance Tr\u00fcmmer Geographies : Teufelsberg as a site of forgetting Ruined Landscapes and Residual Architecture : Affect and palimpsest in trauma tourism The Ruin as Memorial \u2013 The Memorial as Ruin St Peter\u2019s Seminary, Cardross : The ruin of modernism A Future for Hashima : Pornography, representation and time Photography, Performance, Ruin : Performing photography in site of architecture Cruising the Queer Ruins of New York\u2019s Abandoned Waterfront Ruins Recast : Appropriated and fabricated ruins in the work of Scott Myles Artist’s pages Genet\u2019s Cycle of Ruins Quake City Ruin Hermeneutic Excavating Performance Contexts : Performative Monuments: The rematerialisation of public art by Mechtild Widrich (review)
