Performing Embodiment: Choreographies of Affect, Language, and Social Norms
Ed. by Alberica Bazzoni and Federica Buongiorno
Combining the notions of performativity and embodiment, this book situates the body in the realm of processes, movement, and
poiesis
, seeking to generate alternative configurations to mind–body dualism. Focused on language, literature, dance, affect, gender, sport, and disability, the contributions to this volume emphasize
doing
over
being
: the body
does
and is
done
; it is engaged in a movement of co-constitution with the world. It is in
doing
that bodies produce knowledge and shared or contested social meaning. Such a relational process is best described through the notion of choreographies — patterns of movement which capture the embodied dynamic of passivity and activity, design and improvisation, inner and outer states, and which fittingly describe the modalities through which social norms discipline bodies, or are challenged by them.
