{"product_id":"the-bodies-of-others-2","title":"The Bodies of Others: Essays on Ethics and Representation","description":"Available in English for the first time,\u003ci\u003eThe Bodies of Others\u003c\/i\u003einvestigates, through a series of close readings of several theatrical and film productions in Europe and South America, the relationship between \"representation\" (including theatrical representation) and ethics (defined as an ongoing relational negotiation, as opposed to a set of universal moral laws). The main concepts are exposed through a comparative analysis of historical processes, political actions and artistic works from different periods. Thus, the dialogue between the film\u003ci\u003eLa carrose d'or\u003c\/i\u003eby Jean Renoir (1952) and\u003ci\u003eRosa Cuchillo\u003c\/i\u003eby Yuyachkani (2006) serves to address the problem of the multiple meanings of representation. The dialogue between the play\u003ci\u003eEl Señor Galíndez\u003c\/i\u003eby Eduardo Pavlovsky (1973), the performance\u003ci\u003eThe Conquest of America\u003c\/i\u003eby Las Yeguas del Apocalipsis (1989) and the novel\u003ci\u003e2666\u003c\/i\u003e(2004) by Roberto Bolaño allows the concept of an 'ethic of the body' to be addressed. Other key concepts such as identity, care, cruelty, violence, memory and testimony are considered through investigation of work such as Angelica Liddel's theatre pieces, Rabih Mroué and Lina Majdalanie's performances, Albertina Carri, Basilio Martín Patino and Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films, and Mapa Teatro's trans-disciplinary creations.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46245132370130,"sku":"9781350250666","price":59.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46245132402898,"sku":"59da1eb3-7cc9-317f-8da2-cf9becd1732a","price":43.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_1195e954-b2e3-47bd-8fb4-b073a004da61.jpg?v=1762619763","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/the-bodies-of-others-2","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
