We are excited to announce that the Performance Philosophy book series has moved to a new publisher: Rowman & Littlefield. The series will continue to be edited by Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca, Will Daddario and Alice Lagaay in collaboration with Frankie Mace, the Commissioning Editor for Philosophy at Rowman & Littlefield. Performance Philosophy is an interdisciplinary and international field of thought, creative practice and scholarship. The Performance Philosophy book series comprises monographs and essay collections addressing the relationship between performance and philosophy within a broad range of philosophical traditions and performance practices, including drama, theatre, performance arts, dance, art and music. It also includes studies of the performative aspects of philosophy and, indeed, of life itself. As such, the series addresses the philosophy of performance as well as performance-as-philosophy and philosophy-as-performance. Since it was launched in 2014, the Performance Philosophy book series has published 30 titles on a wide range of topics including on dance as embodied philosophy, performance phenomenology, the philosophy of comedy as well as texts introducing and analysing the field of Performance Philosophy itself. We are delighted to announce these recent titles in the series with Rowman & Littlefield:
How to submit a manuscript
We also welcome new proposals. In particular, we are interested in projects exploring the following topics:
- Philosophy, Performance, Performance Philosophy in the Global South
- De- and anti-colonial approaches/critiques/studies within our emerging field
- Music/Sound (and other art forms thus far under-represented in the series)
Increasingly, we are also seeking to innovate in terms of form and style, finding new formats to support the philosophies that come from performance and artistic research. To make a proposal, please contact our editor, Frankie Mace: [email protected]
