Editat de Professor Rhonda Blair, Amy Cook Professor John Lutterbie, Prof Nicola Shaughnessy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mar 2016
Theatre, Performance and Cognitionintroduces readers to the key debates, areas of research, and applications of the cognitive sciences to the humanities, and to theatre and performance in particular. It features the most exciting work being done at the intersection of theatre and cognitive science, containing both selected scientific studies that have been influential in the field, each introduced and contextualised by the editors, together with related scholarship from the field of theatre and performance that demonstrates some of the applications of the cognitive sciences to actor training, the rehearsal room and the realm of performance more generally.The three sections consider the principal areas of research and application in this interdisciplinary field, starting with a focus on language and meaning-making in which Shakespeare's work and Tom Stoppard'sArcadiaare considered. In the second part which focuses on the body, chapters consider applications for actor and dance training, while the third part focuses on dynamic ecologies, of which the body is a part.

Recenzii

Editors Rhonda Blair and Amy Cook bring together a diverse collection of essays that serve three different audiences: theatre and performance scholars, performance practitioners, and scientists . Blair and Cook make obvious the symbiotic potential of questions asked in two seemingly divergent fields .Theatre, Performance and Cognitionserves the field by providing concrete actions for practicing artists, an excellent starting point for established scholars and students, and a robust exploration of the intersections of cognitive science and theatre/performance. Further, this useful co-edited study establishes alternative methods of understanding fundamental questions within the fields of theatre, performance, and dance.
There is much in this book to intrigue, inform, and inspire scholars, students, teachers, and practitioners of theatre and performance. Editors Rhonda Blair and Amy Cook provide accessible introductions for those who might be new to the intersection of cognitive science and theatre, while individual chapters advance the knowledge that arises from this confluence by engaging with specific topics in detailed and provocative ways. The chapters are written by authors of diverse provenances, including dance, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and narratology, alongside theatre and performance studies. The book also includes helpful appendices in the form of abstracts of influential references that informed the chapter authors' writing, and fascinating "After Words" in which practitioners talk about how their work responds to concepts from cognitive science . The application of cognitive science to theatre and performance studies has become an established theoretical approach. This book advances the field significantly-not just by virtue of the content of the individual chapters, but also by the success of its interdisciplinary format, which stimulates valuable dialogue among its authors.
In their excellent edited collection Rhonda Blair and Amy Cook highlight the evolving and broadening interest in cognitive science (a field that includes neuroscience, psychology, cognitive linguistics, and philosophy) by scholars and practitioners of performance . their book demonstrates how rich and varied this interdisciplinary research has become over the twenty years since it first emerged . one of the strengths of this collection is its demonstration that theatre, dance, and performance studies offer essential insights to the sciences of the mind by analyzing perception, movement, and action in their material, social, and cultural environments.
Appealing to readers from diverse disciplines, the collection is for those beginning to explore the rich terrain of the cognitive humanities.
