Abstract
The proposed research project aims to explore the place of art in contemporary global culture, with special emphasis on performing strategies. Aided by representation studies, information society, mediatization, and technological realities, today's performing can be viewed as one of the basic modes that enable us to understand and interpret the contemporary constitution of subjectivity, as well as to realise contemporary strategies of identity. The observation and analysis of performing strategies can be especially successful by applying the aforementioned theoretical outgoing points upon artistic praxes. During the last two decades, artistic praxes have greatly broadened the field of contemporary arts, and in many ways, evolved into a contemporary front disclosing potentialities of identities.The proposed research project would essentially contribute the understanding of the aforementioned articulations as well as to the specific reading they require. It is namely in the tactics and strategicalness of their performing that their political power is exposed, and it is here that new territories of contemporary subject can be discovered. The research would contribute to a better understanding of contemporary culture not as a sole globalisation spectacle inept at a pluralism of strategies, but as a co-existence of various ways in which otherness can be articulated, ways of taking over the tactics of contemporary subjectivity as well as those of transgression and the responsibility towards the otherness.
