Each chapter explores a world comprised of embodied action and thought, addressing the use of dead animals in performance, actor training, the legal implications of thinking phenomenologically about how we walk, and the intertwining of digital and analog perception.The scholars contributing to the volume develop insights central to the phenomenological tradition while expanding on the work of contemporary theorists and performers.
