A Critique of Capitalism : The Mediation of Abstract Labour in Yvonne Rainers Task Dance

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Art’s primary function, at least for a certain tradition of thinking, is to criticize capitalist society. But what in capitalism should be criticized? And how can art perform such a critique? Taking these questions as its staring point this article argues for three things mainly. First, by expanding on Frankfurt School thinker Theodor Adorno’s form theory, that art primarily should criticize capitalism through its form, understood as “sedimented content.” Secondly, taking Marx’s term abstract labour and the way it has been further theorized by contemporary thinkers such as Moishe Postone and Chris Arthur, that abstract labour is the main mediating social form of capitalism and therefore should be the main focus for critique. Finally that art can only negate the social form of abstract labour though its own form. These arguments are being discussed through American choreographer Yvonne Rainer’s (1934-) work, which can be categorised as “task-dance”, an artistic strategy that developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s by choreographers Anna Halprin, Simone Forti and Rainer. Through Adorno’s understanding of form, I argue that Rainer’s early task-dance works criticise capitalism at the level of form rather than at the level of representation.

Slowness out of Sync : Understandings of Time in Ashtanga Yoga
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Sport, Ethics and Philosophy. - 1751-1321 .- 1751-133X. ; 16:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Yoga is often presented as a ‘slow’ form of exercise. Yoga magazines are filled with advice about how to ‘slow down’. However, Ashtanga yoga is considered dynamic and ‘fast’ - something that dates back to its role in the modern re-invention of hatha yoga in India, highly influenced by European physical practices (Alter, 2004; Michelis, 2005; Singleton, 2010; Goldberg, 2016). It is therefore paradoxical that it has become part of the craving for ‘slow’ forms of exercise. This article argues that, when looking at the role of time in contemporary yoga practice, we first need to examine critically the different understandings of time that are part of the practice, and their geo-political circumstances.

Teorier ur kroppsliga praktiker
- 2011
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vad händer om en lärare i fysisk gestaltning och en filosof låter sin respektive praxis mötas i en gemensamt utarbetad arbetsprocess? Denna bok är ett resultat av att filosofen Eva Mark, föreståndare för Grundtvigsinstitutet vid Göteborgs universitet och Pia Muchin, lektor i fysisk gestaltning vid Högskolan för scen och musik, Göteborgs universitet, beslöt att släppa in varandra i sina respektive professionella världar för att göra det möjligt att betrakta egen praxis från nya perspektiv. I boken beskrivs arbetsprocessen och därmed ett praktiskt möte mellan konst och vetenskap. Här redogörs för vad fysisk gestaltning innebär, dess roll som ämne inom scenutbildningen, vad mötet mellan konstnären och filosofen resulterade i, hur reflektionen blev möjlig och hur en maktmedveten kunskapsproduktion växte fram ur praktiskt arbete med fysisk gestaltning. Filosofen berättar vidare om hur teorier om praxis ur praktik utvecklas.

Material of movement and thought : reflections on the dancers´s practice and corporeality
- 2013
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The articles in this volume have grown out of a research project entitled "FromMovement out of Reflection in Becoming: The Dancer and the Creative Process",gathering both professional dancers and theoreticians, and funded by theSwedish Research Council. The overall goal of the project was to approach anunderstanding and a conceptualization of the artistic process of the dancer, takingthe work in the creation ofina Christe!Johannessen's choreographic pieceNOW SHE KNOWS as a point of departure.The focus was both that of the dancer from within the process, and that ofexterna! observers. These viewpoints were not deadlocked hut rather aimed atan interaction and a dialogue between the theoretical and the practical levels.The research methods grew out of an at times quite intimate teamwork wherethe participants' different approaches came to cross and intersect.A number of issues were explored: How does the dancer work in the processwhere the dance takes shape? How does the understanding of a movementmaterial shift through the actual performing of it? What is it to understandor experience a movement from the perspective of the performer? What is itto understand or experience a movement from the perspective of the spectator?What kind of body is the dan ing body and how can it create a variety ofmeanings? Through what concepts are we to think the dancer's practice andcorporeality?The anthology contains essays by Cecilia Roos, Anna Petronella Foultier,Chrysa Parkinson, Katarina Elam, Cecilia Sjöholm, and Irene Hultman.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Problematic assumptions which see humans as special and easily defined as standing apart from animals, plants, and microbiota, both consciously and unconsciously underpin scientific investigation, arts practice, curation, education, and research across the social sciences and humanities. This is the case particularly in those traditions emerging from European and Enlightenment philosophies. Posthumanism disrupts these traditional humanist outlooks and interrogates their profound shaping of how we see ourselves, our place in the world, and our role in its protection.In Posthumanism in Practice, artists, researchers, educators, and curators set out how they have developed and responded to posthumanist ideas across their work in the arts, sciences, and humanities, and provide examples and insights to support the exploration of posthumanism in how we can think, create, and live. In capturing these ideas, Posthumanism in Practice shows how posthumanist thought can move beyond theory, inform action, and produce new artefacts, effects, and methods that are more relevant and more useful for the incoming realities for all life in the 21st century.
