The book examines five performance\/artworks: \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eThe Artist is Present\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                 (2010) by Marina Abramović; \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eThe Deer Shelter Skyscape \u003c\/i\u003e\n                                (2007) by James Turrell; \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eCAT \u003c\/i\u003e\n                                (1998) by Ansuman Biswas; \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eJourney to the Lower World \u003c\/i\u003e\n                                by Marcus Coates (2004); and the work with pollen by Wolfgang Laib. Through the analysis of these works the notion of spirituality is grounded in materiality and embodiment allowing the conceptual juxtaposition of spirit and matter to introduce the paradoxical as the guiding thread of the narrative of the book. Here, the human is interrogated and negotiated with\/within a plurality of other living organisms, intangible existences and micro and macrocosmic ecologies. Silence, meditation, shamanic journeys, reciprocal gazing, restraint, and contemplation are analyzed as technologies used to manipulate perception and adventure into the multilayered condition of matter.\n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030078492\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePolitics, Ecologies and Perceptions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783319897578\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePolitics, Ecologies and Perceptions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783030078492","offer_id":39419875131485,"sku":"9783030078492","price":90.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover - 9783319897578","offer_id":40611182280797,"sku":"9783319897578","price":90.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/8156eabc-0ac3-448b-aa93-8f756097fbc1.jpg?v=1775710461","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/posthuman-spiritualities-in-contemporary-performance-politics-ecologies-and-perceptions-von-silvia-battista","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
