Discussions of (for example) postmodernism, posthumanism, the post-industrial, and indeed the post-digital have remarked that the ‘after’ or ‘beyond’ suggested in these framings is not necessarily categorical, nor even clearly demarcated by way of a date. In this case, the ‘post’ often contains significant features of what came before, and the presence of a name (the modern, the humanist) marks a continuity however much it is also always renounced. As Hal Foster suggested in 1983, addressing a trajectory from modernism to postmodernism, ‘modernism is now largely absorbed. Originally oppositional, ... today, however, it is the official culture’ (Foster 1985: ix). This raises a fundamental question concerning the ‘post’ as a cultural descriptor. To what extent does it mark a radical break, and to what extent is its precedent figured in the very shapes and expressions of the thing that it now describes? This tension is at the heart of cultural process, and thinking about the ‘post’ can help us understand principles of change within culture, society and politics, and therefore also within performance.","PeriodicalId":277793,"journal":{"name":"The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122745252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 12 of these films, Cate Blanchett reinterprets texts from some of the most important artist manifestos of the last century. As an installation that appeared in several major mainstream galleries around the world, Manifesto runs the risk of being overlooked, commodified, or consumed in terms of its potential to honour the radical spirit of the original manifestos it reimagines. Despite this possibility, it is a work that deserves close attention when thinking about both: how it is that the manifestos – the texts themselves – operate within the dramaturgical construction of this filmic series, and how this reimagining impacts their political potentiality. The focus of this chapter, then, is to consider what might be lost and gained through the reimagining of these texts for a 21st-century audience attuned to the visual and adept at consumption. What might Manifesto and the texts it celebrates do in an age of overflow? An age in which, as Rosefeldt argues, ‘less and less content is communicated and more and more facade’ (2016).","PeriodicalId":277793,"journal":{"name":"The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132446778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
