Performance Studies and Negative Epistemology: Performance Apophatics

by

Write a Review

Ideas about negativity, emptiness, nothingness, and disappearance have maintained great theoretical currency in the field of performance theory. Performance Apophatics argues that performance is often an ethical injunction against what it would know or seek to make known. The book explicates texts, performances, and theories of performance as negative epistemologies that encounter the unknown through the known, drawing from literature in theology and apophatic spirituality for guides and examples.
