New publication: Performativity and Performance in Baroque Rome

Peter Gillgren & Mårten Snickare (Ed.). In "Performativity and Performance in Baroque Rome", scholars from different fields of research explore performative aspects of Baroque culture. With examples from the politics of diplomacy and everyday life, from theatre, music and ritual as well as from architecture, painting and sculpture the contributors demonstrate how broadly the concept of performativity has been adopted within different disciplines.
