Description

This book presents an analysis of Regina Jos Galindos performance and poetry within a highly developed theoretical framework.
Eccles explores the connection between art, event, and the affects that permeate throughout each of Galindos performances, channeling the foundations of Alain Badious philosophical writings, then mapping the convergence points between political theory, performance, and the social order. Through a scholarly focus on the event, Eccles utilizes Galindo's art to propose a new category within aesthetics: art as evental. Through this, the author challenges interpretations of the communal understanding of reality, the limits of social space and temporality.
