Over the last few decades, the notion of improvisation has enriched
and dynamized research on traditional philosophies of music,
theatre, dance, poetry, and even visual art. This Handbook offers
readers an authoritative collection of accessible articles on the
philosophy of improvisation, synthesizing and explaining various
subjects and issues from the growing wave of journal articles and
monographs in the field. Its 48 chapters, written specifically for
this volume by an international team of scholars, are accessible
for students and researchers alike. The volume is organized into
four main sections: I Art and Improvisation: Theoretical
Perspectives II Art and Improvisation: Aesthetical, Ethical, and
Political Perspectives III Improvisation in Musical Practices IV
Improvisation in the Visual, Narrative, Dramatic, and Interactive
Arts Key Features: Treats improvisation not only as a stylistic
feature, but also as an aesthetic property of artworks and
performances as well as a core element of artistic creativity.
Spells out multiple aspects of the concept of improvisation,
emphasizing its relevance in understanding the nature of art.
Covers improvisation in a wide spectrum of artistic domains,
including unexpected ones such as literature, visual arts, games,
and cooking. Addresses key questions, such as: - How can
improvisation be defined and what is its role in different art
forms? - Can improvisation be perceived as such, and how can it be
aesthetically evaluated? - What is the relationship between
improvisation and notions such as action, composition,
expressivity, and authenticity? - What is the ethical and political
significance of improvisation?
