Bibliography

Where do I look if I'm interested in phenomenology and the theatre?
Where in Difference and Repetition does Deleuze discuss the stage?
Which articles would you recommend if I'm researching the idea of philosophy as performance?

At the last meeting, it was proposed that the Performance & Philosophy working group create a collective bibliography in order to help answer such questions for one another. The following list is just a start - please send your contributions to the Chair at ku.ca.airbmuhtron|lluc.arual#ku.ca.airbmuhtron|lluc.arual
You can propose new bibliography categories (thematic as well as author-centred) as well as suggesting texts to be included.
Suggestions for texts in languages other than English are very much welcomed!
