This book elucidates how learning from actors enables an intense
education of attention for anthropologists. Actors perform the
perception of sunshine, the sensation of pain, affects such as
shock and emotions such as happiness; they act quarrels, erotic
attraction, leadership and submission on stage. In order to achieve
that, they undergo an education of attention, allowing them to
develop skills that are also useful for anthropologists,
particularly when doing research on phenomena that often elude
academic procedures. Drawing on her own acting experiences and
ongoing research with actors from Africa and Europe, Cassis Kilian
takes up Tim Ingold's manifold proposals to reconfigure
anthropological research. She introduces approaches actors use to
explore the complexity of human life and its bodily, sensual and
emotional dimensions, which can be difficult for academics to grasp
when examining topics such as everyday practices, traumatic
experiences and power relations. Though the book discerns pitfalls
in anthropological research and suggests artistic approaches to
overcome them, it values anthropology as a discipline whose radical
self-reflexive approach allows for such experiments. Including
exercises and practical approaches, this is valuable reading for
scholars interested in anthropological methods, sensory
anthropology, perception and materiality, and theatre anthropology.
