Providing a solid media-philosophical groundwork, the book
contributes to the theory of alterity in Performance Philosophy,
while stimulating and inspiring future inquiries where studies in
media, art, and literature intersect with philosophy. It collects a
selective as well as productive diversity of philosophical,
literary, and artistic figures of thought, attaining an exacting
framework as a result of a clearly elaborated ethics of alterity,
innovatively opened up by way of an aisthetics of existence:
Touching upon the Aristotelian concept of aisthesis, the material,
perceptual and sensory dimensions of everyday bodily existence are
highlighted to move beyond what aesthetics in Modern Philosophy
just specializes in, namely art and the beautiful. The notion of
existence is therefore borrowed from Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who
understands it as something concrete and richly interrelated, so as
to avoid the dualisms both of psychological processes of
consciousness and of physiological mechanisms. It is thus made
explicit such that the unity of body and soul is not any
arbitrarily arranged connection between “subject” and
“object” but, rather, that it is enacted at every instant in
the movement of existence. Imaginatively then, the book puts into
writing how alterity not only can be treated theoretically but can
be also made accessible through writing as well as rendered
relatable through reading. That is why it deals with exemplary
interpersonal encounters in the lifeworld, in the arts, and in the
media, which are initially thematized as intercorporeal
experiences, so as to enable an approach for an ethics of alterity
by way of, in particular, sites located within a phenomenology of
perception oriented towards the lived body.
