Discourses on Body, Performance and Preforming Art Since the 1990s in Taiwan. Since the 1990s, due to the martial law coming to an end, the imposing restriction of authoritarian political ideology on people’s daily life has gradually disintegrated. The afore-accumulated social energy thus burst out through diverse methods. Social movement, performance art, theater or dance that took body as the medium were eagerly seeking for possible patterns which could be realized. Today, thirty years later, social movement, performance art or performing art are all searching for new forms under the promoting of interdisciplinary awareness; while “body” again is set as the basis of these discourses. Such concepts as participatory, immersiveness, interaction, presence… are the product of such trend. In order to break through boundaries among the disciplines, and to again search for the routes of history and future possibilities, this issue take the discourse of “body” as the main axis, along with related discourses of social movement, performance and performing arts, aiming to expand the related discussion of Taiwan’s art history and theories in arts.
