Encounters in Performance Philosophy cover

Encounters in Performance Philosophy is a collection of 14 essays by international researchers which demonstrates the vitality of the field of Performance Philosophy. The essays address a wide range of concerns common to performance and philosophy including: the body, language, performativity, mimesis and tragedy.

“Encounters in Performance Philosophy covers a wide range of theorists, in a variety of methods and from different disciplinary perspectives. … Encounters in Performance Philosophy is a volume that not only records an already existing body of deeply vital and thoughtful practices. It also paves the way for forms of research able to incorporate process and novelty through an actual nomadism unencumbered by hubristic prescription.” (Nik Wakefield, Contemporary Theatre Review, Vol. 25 (4), October, 2015)
