This volume investigates performance cultures as rich and dynamic
environments of knowledge practice through which distinctive
epistemologies are continuously (re)generated, cultivated, and
celebrated. Epistemologies are dynamic formations of rules, tools,
and procedures not only for understanding but also for doing
knowledges. This volume deals in particular with epistemological
challenges posed by practices and processes of interweaving
performance cultures. These challenges arise in artistic and
academic contexts because of hierarchies between epistemologies.
European colonialism worked determinedly, violently, and often with
devastating effects on instituting and sustaining a hegemony of
modern Euro-American rules of knowing in many parts of the world.
Therefore, Interweaving Epistemologies critically interrogates the
(im)possibilities of interweaving epistemologies in artistic and
academic contexts today. Writing from diverse geographical
locations and knowledge cultures, the book's
contributors-philosophers, political scientists as well as
practitioners and scholars of theater, performance, and
dance-investigate prevailing forms of epistemic ignorance and
violence. They introduce key concepts and theories that enable
critique of unequal power relations between epistemologies.
Moreover, contributions explore historical cases of interweaving
epistemologies and examine innovative present-day methods of
working across and through epistemological divides in
non-hegemonic, sustainable, creative, and critical ways. Ideal for
practitioners, students and researchers of theater, performance,
and dance as well as of philosophy and history (of science),
Interweaving Epistemologies emphasizes the urgent need to
acknowledge, study and promote epistemological plurality and
diversity in practices of performance making as well as in
scholarship on theater and performance around the globe today.
