Summary:

Sentient Performativities of Embodiment: Thinking alongside the Human offers writings on the body with a focus on performance, defined as both staged and everyday performance. Traditionally, theorizations of the body have either analyzed its impact on its sociohistorical environment or treated the body as a self-enclosed semiotic and affective system. This collection makes a conscious effort to merge these two approaches. It is interested in interactions between bodies and other bodies, bodies and environments, and bodies and objects.
