COGNITIVE STUDIES IN LITERATURE AND PERFORMANCE...

This book is about the centrality of movement  movement perception  and kinesthetic experience
to theatrical spectatorship. Drawing upon phenomenological accounts of movement experience and
the insights of cognitive science  neuroscience  acting theory  dance theory  philosophy of
mind  and linguistics  it considers how we inhabit the movements of others and how these
movements inhabit us. Individual chapters explore the dynamics of movement and animation 
action and intentionality  kinesthetic resonance (or mirroring)  language  speech  and empathy.
In one of its most important contributions to the study of theatre  performance  and
spectatorship  this book foregrounds otherness  divergence  and disability in its account of
movement perception. The discussions of this and other issues are accompanied by detailed
analysis of theatre  puppetry  and dance performances.
