Mateusz Borowski Book order (chronological)

This volume is a response to the growing need for new methodological approaches to the rapidly changing landscape of new forms of performative practices. The authors address a host of contemporary phenomena situated at the crossroads between science and fiction which employ various media and merge live participation with mediated hybrid experiences at both affective and cognitive level. All essays collected here move across disciplinary divisions in order to provide an account of these new tendencies, thus providing food for thought for a wide readership ranging from performative studies to the social sciences, philosophy and cultural studies.

*** THE INCREDIBLE No. 1 New York Times BESTSELLER *** "What starts here changes the world" was the university slogan that inspired William H. McRaven to take charge of the small things that could change his life and even the world. In this work, McRaven shares 10 life-changing principles learned during his 37 years as a Navy SEAL.

Das polnische Theater genießt einen besonderen Ruf: Tadeusz Kantor, Józef Szajna, Jerzy Grotowski – innovative Bühnenkunst kam in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten oft aus Polen. Die Anthologie vereint in vier Abteilungen Essays, Manifeste und wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen von Praktikern und Theoretikern des Theaters aus dem gesamten 20. Jahrhundert. Sie repräsentieren die interessantesten Konzepte polnischer Theaterleute auf der Suche nach neuen oder modifizierten Formen, Stilen und szenischen Konventionen, nach neuen Theaterästhetiken. Wegweisend waren oft nicht nur einzelne Inszenierungen, sondern insbesondere auch die Art der Vermittlung zwischen Bühne und Publikum. Dadurch wurde die soziale Funktion des Theaters neu definiert. Der von den an der Krakauer Jagiellonen-Universität lehrenden Theaterwissenschaftlern Malgorzata Sugiera und Mateusz Borowski herausgegebene Sammelband stellt die Texte von Adam Mickiewicz, Stanislaw Wyspianski, Jerzy Grotowski, Jan Kott, Witold Gombrowicz, Tadeusz Kantor, Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz, Leon Schiller, Roman Ingarden und vielen anderen in den Kontext des in den letzten Jahren diskutierten Paradigmenwechsels, der unter der Bezeichnung „performative Wende“ bekannt geworden ist.
