When theater and related forms of live performance explore the
borderlands labeled animal and autism, they both reflect and affect
their audiences' understanding of what it means to be human.
Affect, Animals, and Autists maps connections across performances
that question the borders of the human whose neurodiverse
experiences have been shaped by the diagnostic label of autism, and
animal-human performance relationships that dispute and blur
anthropocentric edges. By analyzing specific structures of affect
with the vocabulary of emotions, Marla Carlson builds upon the
conception of affect articulated by psychologist Silvan Tomkins.
The book treats a diverse selection of live performance and
archival video and analyzes the ways in which they affect their
audiences. The range of performances includes commercially
successful productions such as The Curious Incident of the Dog in
the Night-Time, War Horse, and The Lion King as well as to the more
avant-garde and experimental theater created by Robert Wilson and
Christopher Knowles, Back to Back Theatre, Elevator Repair Service,
Pig Iron Theatre, and performance artist Deke Weaver.
