Charlotta Palmstierna Einarsson 
A Theatre of Affect [PDF ebook] 
The Corporeal Turn in Samuel Beckett’s Drama

Ondersteuning

Combining phenomenological analysis with dance and performance analysis and affect theory, A Theatre of Affect: The Corporeal Turn in Samuel Beckett’s Drama takes stock of the various ways in which the body in Samuel Beckett’s drama participates in the affective ecology of performance. Affect is here located in the materiality of the body and discussed in relation to the symbolic significance of, for instance, the effort, direction, speed, or duration of a posture, movement, or gesture. Although the meaning of the body in Beckett’s stage-images cannot be mapped onto conventional discursive ‘meanings’, the significance of the body’s formal modulations is affective in the sense that the import of such changes is immediately recognised and felt as ‘significant’ by spectators. Beckett’s theatre of affect therefore predicates on the infinitesimal stirrings of subliminal meaning-making that continuously shape and create the world in experience.
