The Routledge Handbook of Reenactment Studies provides the first overview of significant concepts within reenactment studies. The volume includes a co-authored critical introduction and a comprehensive compilation of key term entries contributed by leading reenactment scholars from Europe, North America, and Australia. Well into the future, this wide-ranging reference work will inform and shape the thinking of researchers, teachers, and students of history and heritage and memory studies, as well as cultural studies, film, theater and performance studies, dance, art history, museum studies, literary criticism, musicology, and anthropology.

Theatre/Archaeology is a brillant and provocative challenge to disciplinary practice and intellectual boundaries. It brings together radical proposals in both archaeological and performance theory to generate a startlingly original and intriguing methodological framework. It facilitates a new way of investigating landscape and cityscape, and notions of physicality, encounter, site and context. The book takes scholarly innovation to new levels. It is the result of a long-term, unique collaboration between a renowned archaeological theorist and a leading theatre artist. The result is a vibrant dialogic writing which bridges the scholarly/poetic divide.

'Performing Remains' explores the role of the fake, the false and the faux in contemporary theatre. Divided into seven essays, it examines both contemporary and historical performance with a wide scope, questioning the importance of representation and reassessing the ritual value of failure. 'Performing Remains' explores the role of the fake, the false and the faux in contemporary theatre. Divided into seven essays, it examines both contemporary and historical performance with a wide scope, questioning the importance of representation and reassessing the ritual value of failure. 'At last, the past has arrived! Performing Remains is Rebecca Schneider's authoritative statement on a major topic of interest to the field of theatre and performance studies. It extends and consolidates her pioneering contributions to the field through its interdisciplinary method, vivid writing, and stimulating polemic. Performing Remains has been eagerly awaited, and will be appreciated now and in the future for its rigorous investigations into the aesthetic and political potential of reenactments.' - Tavia Nyong'o, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University 'I have often wondered where the big, important, paradigm-changing book about re-enactment is: Schneider's book seems to me to be that book. Her work is challenging, thoughtful and innovative and will set the agenda for study in a number of areas for the next decade.' - Jerome de Groot, University of Manchester Performing Remains is a dazzling new study exploring the role of the fake, the false and the faux in contemporary performance. Rebecca Schneider argues passionately that performance can be engaged as what remains, rather than what disappears. Across seven essays, Schneider presents a forensic and unique examination of both contemporary and historical performance, drawing on a variety of elucidating sources including the "America" plays of Linda Mussmann and Suzan-Lori Parks, performances of Marina Abramovic' and Allison Smith, and the continued popular appeal of Civil War reenactments. Performing Remains questions the importance of representation throughout history and today, while boldly reassessing the ritual value of failure to recapture the past and recreate the "original."

Der Begriff »Reenactment« (engl. to reenact: nachstellen, wieder in Kraft setzen) bezeichnet eine ästhetische Praxis der Wiederaufführung und des Nachstellens historischer Ereignisse. Heike Engelke untersucht einen Paradigmenwechsel in der Diskussion von nachstellenden Strategien als künstlerischen Zugang zu Geschichte und ihren Ereignissen. Sie plädiert für die Ausarbeitung eines Vokabulars zu deren Beschreibung - mit dem Ziel, sich nicht in der Diagnose einer naiven Vergegenwärtigung oder eines kritischen Surplus in der spezifischen Wiederholung des Reenactment zu erschöpfen. Vielmehr gilt es, der vielschichtigen Verhandlung des Vergangenen innerhalb der Gegenwartskunst gerecht zu werden.

Humphrey Jennings (1907-50) was perhaps the most gifted filmmaker of the British documentary movement. Involved in the Mass Observation project of the 1930s, Jennings' talent lay in picturing ordinary life in ways that were inventive yet authentic. 'Fires Were Started' (1943) is his major achievement. A film about a day's work for a unit of the National Fire Service at the height of the blitz, it blends observation with fictional reconstruction to achieve a particularly poignant kind of propaganda. Lindsay Anderson expressed the opinion of many commentators and viewers when he wrote in 'Sight and Sound '(in a 1954 article reprinted as an appendix to this volume) that Jennings was "the only real poet the British cinema has yet produced." But how could a documentarist also be a poet? This is one of the questions addressed by Brian Winston in his highly engaging study of 'Fires Were Started'--a question that is particularly relevant today in the wake of the massive public controversies surrounding "faked" documentaries. For Winston documentary filmmaking is always "creatively treated actuality" and must be taken as such if it's to be properly valued and understood.
