Situated Knowing aims to critically examine performance studies'
ideological and socio-political underpinnings while also
challenging the Anglo-centrism of the discipline. This book reworks
the concept of situated knowledges put forward over thirty years
ago by American biologist and philosopher Donna Haraway in order to
challenge the Enlightenment paradigm of objectivity in sciences by
emphasising the role of the embodied and partial socio-cultural
perspective of the scholar in the production of knowledge. Through
carefully selected case studies of contemporary natural, cultural
and technological performances, contributors to this volume show
that the proposed approach requires new genealogies of traditional
concepts, emerges from encounters with contemporary performative
arts or contact zones and may potentially go beyond the human in
order to include non-human ways of being in the world. It will be
of great interest to students and scholars of performance studies,
cultural studies, media studies and theatre studies.
