Affective Movements, Methods and Pedagogies

Reviews / Votes

'Affective Movements, Methods and Pedagogies is both timely and necessary. The collection provides an exciting international multi-perspectival mapping of affect methodological studies. The engagement with affective approaches from a performance studies focus instigates multiple dimensions of new inquiry and enhances pedagogical practice. I shall definitely be checking out my bookseller for a copy when the publication date comes around!' -- Dr. Ken Gale, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Plymouth, UK

'Affective Movements, Methods and Pedagogies brings together a diverse group of dedicated emerging and established scholars and practitioners who are all committed to the need for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to performance and other arts-driven work and research-creation. Their playful and collective wisdom has resulted in a rich collage of perspectives and practices from seven countries, showing how affect theory can enact practices that disrupt modernist and humanist ideologies and their attendant rationalist and anthropocentric logics. This book is not a blueprint, nor is it a collection of feelgood stories, rather the authors have explored, from diverse perspectives and understandings, the ways in which bodies produce affects, and affects produce bodies. As such it is an essential resource for scholars interested in researching affect theory and performance and their practices.' -- Annette Gough Professor Emerita, School of Education, RMIT University, Australia

'Affective Movements, Methods, and Pedagogies is a vibrant, urgent collection of essays from across the disciplinary spectrum. Together these essays call us, as scholars, teachers, performers, practitioners, (or all of, more than, these), to fresh, immersive engagements with affect and to new ways of thinking and doing.' -- Professor Jonathan Wyatt, University of Edinburgh, UK 'Affective Movements, Methods and Pedagogies is both timely and necessary.
