Performance and Temporalisation Performance and Temporalisation Performance Philosophy Series Editors: Laura Cull (University of Surrey, UK), Alice Lagaay (Universität Bremen, Germany) Freddie Rokem (Tel Aviv University, Israel) Performance Philosophy is an emerging interdisciplinary 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 philo- sophical traditions and performance practices, including drama, theatre, performance arts, dance, art and music. The series also includes studies of the performative aspects of life and, indeed, phi- losophy itself. As such, the series addresses the philosophy of performance as well as performance- as-philosophy and philosophy-as-performance.

The series takes an inclusive, interdisciplinary and pluralist approach to the field of Performance Philosophy – aiming, in due course, to comprise publications concerned with performance from a wide range of perspectives within philosophy – whether from the Continental or Analytic traditions, or from those which focus on Eastern or Western modes of thought. Likewise, the series will embrace philosophical approaches from those working within any discipline or definition of performance, includ- ing, but not limited to, theatre, dance, music, visual art, performance art and performativity in everyday life. In turn, the series aims to both sharpen and problematize the definition of the terms ‘performance’ and ‘philosophy’, by addressing the relationship between them in multiple ways. It is thus designed to support the field’s ongoing articulation of its identity, parameters, key questions and core concerns; its quest is to stage and re-stage the boundaries of Performance Philosophy as a field, both implicitly and explicitly. The series also aims to showcase the diversity of interdisciplinary and international research, exploring the relationship between performance and philosophy (in order to say: ‘This is Performance Philosophy’), whilst also providing a platform for the self-definition and self-interrogation of Performance Philosophy as a field (in order to ask and ask again: ‘What is Performance Philosophy?’ and ‘What might Performance Philosophy become?’). That is to say, what counts as Performance Philosophy must be ceaselessly subject to redefinition in the work of performance philosophers as it unfolds. But this does not mean that ‘anything goes’ or that the
