Performance Research Journal
Vol.27, Issue 8: On Diagrams and the Diagrammatic
Edited by Andrej Mirčev
Focusing on diagrams in the performing arts, this issue brings together theoretical and practice-based perspectives on the diagrammatic, understood both as a knowledge-generating device and a performative instrument with distinctive aesthetic and intersocial qualities. It surveys how acts of diagramming can generate fluid constellations between concepts, words and images, and thus set in motion their transformation and translation into visceral and spatial realities. Blending speculative reflection with artistic research, the collected articles unfold hybrid, non-dualist territories in which performances are examined as palimpsests of graphic textures. The issue ‘On Diagrams & the Diagrammatic’ seeks to expand the discussion on sociopolitical entanglements of contemporary performing practices by questioning if and how theatre and dance can be comprehended diagrammatically. Organised around several thematic trajectories, the contributions converge on questions of cartography, affectivity, notations, archives and the political.
