In Choreographing Agonism, Goran Petrović Lotina explores the connections between politics and performance, arguing that artistic performance can be a powerful tool for contesting dominant politics and promoting alternative ways of living together. Drawing on post-Marxist theories of discourse theory, hegemony, conflict, and pluralism, the book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the political dimensions of artistic performance.

In his groundbreaking book, Choreographing Agonism, author Goran Petrović Lotina delves into the intricate connections between politics and performance, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between these two realms. Through a comprehensive exploration of the political and philosophical foundations of various recent leftist civil movements, Petrović Lotina compellingly advocates for a re-imagining of artistic performance as a powerful tool for fostering democracy and challenging dominant political ideologies. Drawing inspiration from post-Marxist discourse theory, hegemony, conflict, and pluralism, Petrović Lotina employs tension as a guiding philosophical, political, and artistic force. This innovative approach expands the politico-philosophical discourse on theories of performance, providing scholars and practitioners alike with a thought-provoking analysis of how artistic performance can be viewed politically as an agonic choreo-political practice. By presenting a compelling case for the political potential of artistic expression, Choreographing Agonism makes a significant and pioneering contribution to the field of Performance Studies.
