Rebecca Schneider

Im vorliegenden Buch werden Wissensentwicklungsprozesse von Schüler*innen der Grundschule bei der Bearbeitung empirischer Settings untersucht und dabei eine Beschreibung des für die Schüler*innen rekonstruierbaren mathematischen Wissens vorgenommen. Zur Untersuchung wird ein erkenntnistheoretisches Instrumentarium eingesetzt, welches das Konzept der Subjektiven Erfahrungsbereiche mit dem Konzept der empirischen Theorien verbindet und die Grundlage für die hier gewonnen Erkenntnisse darstellt. Am Beispiel des Maßstabsbegriff wird aufgezeigt, dass zahlreiche klassische Aufgabenstellungen eine Quantifizierung maßstabsgetreuer Längen fokussieren, die für Schülerinnen und Schüler der Grundschule jedoch problematisch ist. Darüber hinaus wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern eine durch die Lehrkraft eingenommene Erwartungshaltung an die Bearbeitungswege von Schülerinnen und Schülern Wissensentwicklungsprozesse beeinflussen kann und welche Bedeutung der physikalischen Repräsentation empirischer Objekte für die Wissensentwicklung von Schülerinnen und Schüler der Grundschule zukommt.

Engaging with remains and remainders of media cultures As new, as current, as now-this is primarily our understanding of technologies and their mediating of our social constructions. But past media and past practices continue to haunt and inflect our present social and technical arrangements. To trace this haunting, two performance theorists and a media theorist engage in this volume with remains and remainders of media cultures through the lenses of theatre and performance studies and of media archaeology. They address the temporalities and materialities of remain(s), the production of obsolescence in relation to the live body, and considerations of cultural memory as well as of infrastructure and the natural history of media culture.

This provocative book meets the supposedly 'live' practices of performance and the 'no-longer-live' historical past at their own dangerous crossroads. Focussing on the 'and' of the title, it addresses the tangled relations between the terms, practices, ideas, and aims embedded in these compatriot - but often oppositional - arts and acts of time.

'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 ManchesterPerforming 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."

The Explicit Body in Performance interrogates the avant-garde precedents and theoretical terrain that combined to produce feminist performance art. Among the many artists discussed are: * Carolle Schneemann * Annie Sprinkle * Karen Finley * Robbie McCauley * Ana Mendieta * Ann Magnuson * Sandra Bernhard * Spiderwoman Rebecca Schneider tackles topics ranging across the 'post-porn modernist movement', New Right censorship, commodity fetishism, perspectival vision, and primitivism. Employing diverse critical theories from Benjamin to Lacan to postcolonial and queer theory, Schneider analyses artistic and pop cultural depictions of the explicit body in late commodity capitalism. The Explicit Body in Performance is complemented by extensive photographic illustrations and artistic productions of postmodern feminist practitioners. The book is a fascinating exploration of how these artists have wrestled with the representational structures of desire.
