Descrizione MODERNIST DISGUISE
Analyses the expansion of head and body masking from nineteenth-century Paris to its international maturity in contemporary culture This book highlights that masquerade can be regarded as a distinct genre of performance activity that employs elements of the carnivalesque, circus, dance, gestural theatre and theatre of objects. Popenhagen traces artistic disguising from fin de siècle Pierrots in Paris, Marseille and Vienna to early twentieth-century masquerading in Moscow and Zürich. He explores identity play and display through the complementary lenses of image studies, cultural history and performance theory. Ron J. Popenhagen is Lecturer in Interdisciplinary Humanities and Performance at California State University.
