Reviews

An important new collection whose essays richly support the editors' claim that `performance can be a privileged object of phenomenological investigation as well as a means of developing phenomenological practice.' By placing phenomenology in dialogue with contemporary performance practices and other theoretical points of view, the essays in this collection critique its traditional assumptions and explore potential limits to its historical aspirations. Individually and together, they make a sizable contribution to our understanding of performance. Performance and Phenomenology provides a wealth of critical and experiential frameworks for understanding the relationships between subjectivity, corporeality, perception, and world. --Stanton B. Garner Jr., University of Tennessee (author of Bodied Spaces), Theatre Survey
