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.

The first edition of this was my guide to entering the workforce as a photo educator; and I still reference it for inspiration; guidance; and thoughtful discussion. When the second edition came out I didnt hesitate to get a copy and I am very happy with the updated information and approach from the additional voices involved as well as the new; inspiration student images. There is an excellent section on critiques and a great chapter on collaborative learning; which I think has an increasing place and purpose in modern education. Ive been teaching since 2008 and find this one of my most valued resources for photographic education.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.
