Humans have always marked time, whether by using using the earth's
natural rhythms or with the clock. Unlike pre- industrial people,
living in an age of social acceleration is dominated by clock-time
and network time, presenting many more options than can possibly be
achieved in a human lifespan. This book explores the possibility of
an alternative experience of time, one that is closer to the pure
duration described by philosopher Henri Bergson. The discussions in
this book contribute to contemporary performance analysis,
philosophy and Bergson studies as well as exploring aspects of
immersive and participatory performance, walking practices, ritual
and online performance. Using durational performances as case
studies, the author demonstrates new insights into Bergson's
philosophy alongside key theorists in psychology and anthropology.
Through a series of performance analyses, Bergson's philosophy of
duration is coupled with ideas from Maslow, Csikszentmihalyi and
Victor Turner to speculate on the possibilities available in
challenging an experience of the world in which time is short, but
the possibility of experience is abundant. The main audience is an
academic and student market. Undergraduate and postgraduate
students of theatre studies, performance and the performing arts,
doctoral researchers, researchers interested in time and
performance, the relationship between performance and philosophy,
those with an interest in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and
psychology will all find much of interest. Potential wider
readership in those who are interested in the phenomenon of social
acceleration, in performance philosophy as well in Bergson's
philosophy.
