performance ii: audience and embodiment 199
- This idea is spelled out more clearly in Woodruff 1988. See especially
250–253. - For a critical survey of these paradoxes and their proposed solutions, see
D. Davies 2007a, ch. 7. - See Kuhn and Giles 2003.
- See, for example, Carroll 1988, 90–106.
- The example he cites in support of his view of Brechtian theater – Wallace
Shawn’s Auntie Dan and Lemon (New York, 1985) – did not, as far as I can tell,
employ such devices. - W. B. Yeats, “Among School Children,” in Allt and Alspach 1965, 443–446.
- As noted in the previous chapter, however, the status of the musician as per-
former suggests that her relationship with her instruments is not purely
“instrumental.” If so, the issues about embodiment discussed in this section
will arise in performing arts other than dance. - For discussions of these issues, see Kozel 1997; Banes 1998, ch. 6; and
Desmond 1999. - See, for example, Sheets-Johnstone 1984; Fraleigh 1987; Shusterman 2008.
All of these texts draw upon Merleau-Ponty 1962. - See Merleau-Ponty 1962; and Gallagher 2005, ch. 1.
- Mirror neurons are discussed in a number of places in Gallagher 2005, espe-
cially 220–223. For recent critical reviews of work on mirror neurons by prin-
cipal researchers in the field, see Gallese 2009; Rizolatti and Sinigaglia 2010. - See Gallagher 2005, ch. 3, for an argument to this effect.
- Based, presumably, on the assumption that aesthetic properties themselves
are such that they can be accessed only by these sensory modalities. - Or, on the second reading, to experience aesthetic properties proprioceptively.
- See Gallese 2009, 7, for a survey of research on the bearing of past motor
experience on the operation of mirror neurons. - Another problem for Shusterman’s second scenario is that, according to the
mirror neuron research, it is goal-oriented activities such as grasping that trigger
such neurons. It isn’t clear that posture by itself will trigger mirror-neuronal
activity. See Gallese 2009. - See again Gallese 2009.
- See, for example, Dutton 1979; Currie 1989; D. Davies 2004.
