• W580275247 abstract "This thesis maps and performs a new approach to the work of a major twentiethcentury artist, and outlines an interpretative framework as a model for a broadercontemporary exploration of the theme of exile as it is lived and experienced in both personaland political ways at the end of the twentieth and twenty-first century. The main body of thethesis is a scholarly endeavour of `re-thinking Woyzeck through Marie's gaze', and therebyseeks to illuminate the major themes of politics, gender and poetics in Nadj's Woyzeck, stagedin 1994, as a significant dance theatre work. The thesis argues that the political turbulence in`Post- (Berlin) Wall' Europe had a great impact on theatre and dance performance practice. Inthis context, Woyzeck is examined from a number of critical perspectives, and is treated as aninfluential political and dramatic text which can shed light on the more general process of`performing exile' that is alienating and re embodying it in a performance context. Beyondthis critical analysis, however, the thesis also offers a performative voice engaging in debatewith itself, and creates a new technology tool for testing its own theories in performancepractice: the PORT (Performance Online in Real Time) application.The thesis as written, and as performed, is both academic and personal: the journey ofthe thesis is the journey of my body, my mind, my critical understanding, as I have worked toescape the lingering sense of not belonging to my own country (Serbia), my adopted country(England), and the invisible boundaries, memories and liminal spaces between. The thesisthus studies Woyzeck's construction of a woman's view of her own not-belonging, and offersa scholarly analysis from the first person, embodied knowledge of another woman'sunderstanding: it maps a journey into exile and out again through language (spoken, gestural,and theoretical) and through the movement of the body as a form of self-reclamation beyondspoken and written language.By applying a hybrid feminist and psychoanalytic approach to this intertextualanalysis of `the feminine gaze' in each of the transdiciplinary arguments put forward, thethesis aims to both challenge and examine the stereotype of the female figure's (Marie's) rolein Nadj's Woyzeck as well as the role of the female spectator and performer. Focus is directedat important signifying objects and acts in the play: e. g. the significance of the `red necklace',seen as an apt metaphor for the silenced female voice and the exiled subjectivity of thisfemale character. Through application of a feminist/ psychoanalytic approach in theintertextual analysis, the thesis pays particular attention to the spectator's gaze and Marie'sgaze, and to the act of reframing her role and questioning her position as the `objectifiedother' in a performative space. In this repositioning of Marie more centrally within the storyof her own exile, the aim is to provide a platform from which she might act as a `speakingsubject' as she writes Her own story, which is also my story, and the story of many exiledwomen in theatrical texts.The main theoretical influence on this work is Helene Cixous' feminist theory, whichthough frequently applied to the field of performance studies in general, has not been studiedin relation to this precise theme of exile in performance in an embodied and technologyenhancedstudy. By not only rewriting Marie's story but also re-enacting my own, and furthercapturing this story of exile in a new technology tool created as part of the research for thisthesis, I see, to challenge the role of the spectator/reader in the performance analysis, invitinghim/her to witness the performance event and to engage as a political and gendered speakingsubject. I also aim to offer a technology tool that other actors, dancers and scholars will finduseful in their own performance experiments in future.This thesis seeks to make a significant and original contribution to the fields ofknowledge in Performance Studies, Media Studies, Cultural Studies and Digital Media Art,and draws upon more established fields in Feminist Theory and Cultural Studies for the baseupon which these newer approaches can be positioned." @default.
