“Towards the end of this insightful, critical and caring collection of writings between and beyond performance and philosophy an echo hangs in the air: And so the questions remain. As well they might given the ground covered by a suite of startling essays that not only tend to this dynamically developing field but, in the original spirit of broadcasting, cast seeds of thought way beyond the ploughed furrow of disciplinary rectitude. If the fine contributors to this invaluable volume could forgive me a category mistake: essential reading.” —Alan Read, Professor of Theatre and Director Performance Foundation, King’s College London “Among the many insights contained within this volume, perhaps the most critical is also one of the simplest: that the process of dialogue is integral to the practices of performance and philosophy alike. The interlocutions collected here, which bring together some of the most important and innovative thinkers of our moment, are necessary reading for anyone interested in the possibilities of the field that has come to be known as Performance Philosophy. With urgency and vigor, these essays and interviews invite us into a conversation that reaches far beyond the pages of this book.” —David Kornhaber, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Texas at Austin, and author of The Birth of Theater from the Spirit of Philosophy: Nietzsche and the Modern Drama
Performance Philosophy is an interdisciplinary and international field of thought, creative practice and scholarship. The Performance Philosophy book series comprises monographs and essay collections addressing the relationship between performance and philosophy within a broad range of philosophical traditions and performance practices, including drama, theatre, performance arts, dance, art and music. It also includes studies of the performative aspects of life and, indeed, philosophy itself. As such, the series addresses the philosophy of performance as well as performance-asphilosophy and philosophy-as-performance.
