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 21st 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.
