Performance Phenomenology: A Path to the Thing Itself
In Performance Phenomenology: A Path to the Thing Itself, author Sarah Jane Bailes offers a unique and in-depth exploration of the relationship between performance and phenomenology. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in performance studies, phenomenology, or the philosophy of art.
Bailes begins by arguing that performance is a privileged site for phenomenological inquiry. This is because performance, by its very nature, is ephemeral and experiential. It is something that happens in the present moment and cannot be fully captured or represented in any other form. As such, performance offers a unique opportunity to study the lived experience of human beings.

Bailes then goes on to develop a phenomenological account of performance. She draws on the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger, and other phenomenologists to argue that performance is a way of being-in-the-world. It is a way of engaging with our surroundings and making sense of our experiences.
Bailes's account of performance is not limited to the stage or the concert hall. She argues that performance can take place anywhere, at any time. It can be found in everyday activities such as cooking, cleaning, and walking. Performance is simply a way of being present to the world and engaging with our surroundings.
Bailes's book is a major contribution to the field of performance studies. It offers a new and innovative way of thinking about performance and its relationship to phenomenology. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in these fields.
