In Moving without a Body, Stamatia Portanova considers what really happens when the physicality of movement is translated into a numerical code by a technological system. Drawing on the radical empiricism of Gilles Deleuze and Alfred North Whitehead, she argues that this does not amount to a technical assessment of software\u2019s capacity to record motion but requires a philosophical rethinking of what movement itself is, or can become.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the development of different audiovisual tools and the shift from analog to digital, she focuses on some choreographic realizations of this evolution, including works by Loie Fuller and Merce Cunningham. Throughout, Portanova considers these technologies and dances as ways to think\u2014rather than just perform or perceive\u2014movement. She distinguishes the choreographic thought from the performance: a body performs a movement, and a mind thinks or choreographs a dance. Similarly, she sees the move from analog to digital as a shift in conception rather than simply in technical realization. Analyzing choreographic technologies for their capacity to redesign the way movement is thought, Moving without a Body offers an ambitiously conceived reflection on the ontological implications of the encounter between movement and technological systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Author: <\/b> Stamatia Portanova<br \/><b>Publisher: <\/b>MIT Press (2013)<\/p>\n<p><b><b><\/b><\/b>Hardcover: 184 pages<br \/><b>Language: <\/b>English <br \/>ISBN13: 978-0-262-01892-0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1260,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[330],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2871","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-non-classe","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"purchasable","11":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
