This book offers a glimpse of new perspectives on how philosophy
performs in the gaps between thinking and acting. Bringing together
perspectives from world-renowned contemporary philosophers and
theorists - including Judith Butler, Alphonso Lingis, Catherine
Malabou, Jon McKenzie, Martin Puchner, and Avital Ronell - this
book engages with the emerging field of performance philosophy,
exploring the fruitful encounters being opened across disciplines
by this constantly evolving approach. Intersecting dramatic
techniques with theoretical reflections, scholars from diverse
geographical and institutional locations come together to trace the
transfers between French theory and contemporary Anglo-American
philosophical and performance practices in order to challenge
conventional approaches to knowledge. Through the crossings of
different voices and views, the reader will be led to explore the
in-between territories where performance meets traditionally
philosophical tools and mediums, such as writing, discipline,
plasticity, politics, or care.
This collection gathers a set of provocative essays that sketch
innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to Genre Theory in the
21st century. Focusing on the interaction between tragedy and
comedy, both renowned and emerging scholarly and creative voices
from philosophy, theatre, literature, and cultural studies come
together to engage in dialogues that reconfigure genre as social,
communal, and affective. In revisiting the challenges to aesthetic
categorization over the course of the 20th century, this volume
proposes a shift away from the prescriptive and hierarchical
reading of genre to its crucial function in shaping thought and
enabling shared experience and communication. In doing so, the
various essays acknowledge the diverse contexts within which genre
needs to be thought afresh: media studies, rhetoric, politics,
performance, and philosophy.
