This book offers a timely discussion about the interventions and
tensions between two contested and contentious fields, performance
and phenomenology, with international case studies that map an
emerging twenty-first century terrain of critical and performance
practice. Building on the foundational texts of both fields that
established the performativity of perception and cognition,
Performance and Phenomenology continues a tradition that considers
experience to be the foundation of being and meaning. Acknowledging
the history and critical polemics against phenomenological
methodology and against performance as a field of study and
category of artistic production, the volume provides both an
introduction to core thinkers and an expansion on their ideas in a
wide range of case studies. Whether addressing the use of dead
animals in performance, actor training, the legal implications of
thinking phenomenologically about how we walk, or the intertwining
of digital and analog perception, each chapter explores a world
comprised of embodied action and thought. The established and
emerging scholars contributing to the volume develop insights
central to the phenomenological tradition while expanding on the
work of contemporary theorists and performers. In asking why
performance and phenomenology belong in conversation together, the
book suggests how they can transform each other in the process and
what is at stake in this transformation.
