Abstract
This article presents the discussion on performance, the archive, and the relations between them, based on Polish translations of Rebecca Schneider’s book Performing Remains: Art and War in Times of Theatrical Reenactment (Routledge 2011; Polish edition: Pozostaje performans, Kraków 2020) and Diana Taylor’s Performance (Duke University Press 2016; Polish edition: Performans, Kraków 2018). The central theme of the article is a reflection on Schneider’s treatment of time and corporeality, which makes it possible to highlight the differences between the approaches to the ontology of performance proposed in the two books.
