Description

This collection offers writings on the body with a focus on performance, defined as both staged performance and everyday performance. Traditionally, theorizations of the body have either analyzed its impact on its socio-historical environment or treated the body as a self-enclosed semiotic and affective system. This collection makes a conscious effort to merge these two approaches. It is interested in interactions between bodies and other bodies, bodies and environments, and bodies and objects.

Media Reviews

What does it mean to feel? Sentient Performativities of Embodiment considers both the social resonance and the political stakes of this question by concentrating the study of affect more closely upon the site of the inexorably mortal human body. By convening an impressive group of scholars whose research sites challenge simplistic distinctions between 'the aesthetic' and 'the real,' Hunter, Krimmer, and Lichtenfels have crafted an anthology that compels us to return our attention to the lived complexity of feeling as a material register of human experience. This beautifully curated book will expand critical conversations between affect studies and performance studies, restoring in our consideration of feeling the fleshy, corporeal timbre of the felt. -- Patrick Anderson, University of California, San Diego
Sentient Performativities of Embodiment: Thinking alongside the Human is an immense effort; broad in scope and comprehensive in its attempt to foreground practice-based research in the Arts. This type of scholarship has been gaining ground within a number of prominent institutions and the authors should be congratulated for bringing the views of so many excellent artists/scholars together in one volume. -- Henry Daniel, Simon Fraser University
