Synopsis
This edited collection of essays and artist reflections presents perspectives from arts and humanities researchers exploring how individuals and collectives engage with, relate to and experience environments. The term environment is broadly conceived in this volume and encompasses rural landscapes and nature spaces, urban and architectural sites, institutional, workplace and organisational spaces, domestic environments and public and private realms.Exploring what it means to encounter environments through embodied, artistic and reflexive practices, the essays and reflections draw on theoretical fields of feminist posthuman discourse, new materialism, anthropology, human geography, queer studies, performing and fine arts, art and health, psychology and ecological perspectives. Drawing on dialogues emerging from discursive border crossings between disciplines, Encountering Environments through the Arts includes contributions from the fields of dance, walking practice, sonic arts, visual art, cultural and human geography, somatic movement practice, poetry and architecture. This collection offers insights and reflections on environment and experience from a range of voices – established and emerging scholars, independent researchers and practitioner-researchers within and beyond the academy.Providing a truly interdisciplinary range of research that centres on notions of site-specific practice and experience, this is an invaluable contribution to performance studies and the wider field of arts and humanities. The reflective accounts and articulation of research methods and approaches make this volume ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as scholars and researchers of performance studies, dance and choreography studies, cultural studies, environmental humanities, arts and social sciences.
