In fiamme : La performance nello spazio delle lotte (1967-1979)

The book In fiamme. La performance nello spazio delle lotte (1967-1979 questions the scene of the long 1968 in Italy at the crossroads between artistic experimentation and political struggle, in search of questions that still trouble the present: community, relational and affective ecosystems, processes of subjectification, relationships between creation and production. The so-called Italian laboratory – radical and not without contradictions – took shape through eccentric paths between the Sixties and Seventies, in the performance that was beginning to deflagrate in the space of struggles – a legacy collected more from the international debate than from Italian theatrical historiography. Through geographies, environments, writings, images, In fiamme tries to see the complex dimension of the performance as a field of production of the common.

In fiamme is a polyphonic object, which assembles different temporalities, writings, images and voices of artists, scholars, activists, moving between theories and practices, between writings and materiality of images. First collective volume of the research group of INCOMMON, the book is a living archive of words and gestures that opens new trajectories of contemporary critical theory.
