ABOUT


This book argues that a trans-disciplinary dialogue between the art of acting and the art of philosophical thinking urges us to create a new image of both thought and theatrical performance. Whilst acting is revealed in its at once utmost creative and philosophical dimension, thinking itself becomes a form of artistic practice. This publicationis published in the course of the FWF PEEK-project “Artist-Philosophers. Philosophy AS Arts-Based-Research” [AR 275-G21].

What happens to thinking when philosophers are invited to risk an environment other than the familiar field of academia? This research question is the crucial impetus from which, for 20 years, the philosopher Arno Böhler and the artist Susanne Valerie Granzer have been building milieus favouring a way of thinking that does not secretly indulge in an ascetic ideal, but instead gives space to the body and desire. How does the image of thought change when philosophers and artists start out to understand philosophy as an artistic research practice? Hasn't this been the very movement of thinking starting from Nietzsche, being on its way to give back to thinking its sensual anchorage? This anthology presents a philosophical contextualisation of this questions within the framework of the festival “Philosophy on Stage #4: Nietzsche et cetera” and comprises texts by Arno Böhler, Susanne Valerie Granzer, Anke Haarmann, Krassimira Kruschkova, Alice Lagaay, Anton Rey and Elisabeth Schäfer.

German Abstract

Was widerfährt dem Denken, wenn Philosoph_innen eingeladen werden, ein anderes als das gewohnte akademische Umfeld zu riskieren? Diese Forschungsfrage ist der entscheidende Impetus aus dem heraus der Philosoph Arno Böhler und die Künstlerin Susanne Valerie Granzer seit 20 Jahren Milieus für ein Denken bauen, das nicht insgeheim einem asketischen Ideal frönt, sondern dem Körper und dem Begehren Raum gibt. Wie verändert sich unser Bild des Denkens, wenn sich Philosoph_innen und Künstler_innen aufmachen, Philosophie als eine künstlerische Forschungspraxis zu verstehen? Ist das Denken seit Nietzsche nicht genau dahin unterwegs, dem Denken seine Verankerung in der Sinnlichkeit zurückzugeben? Der Sammelband präsentiert eine philosophische Kontextualisierung dieser Fragestellungen im Rahmen des Festivals „Philosophy On Stage#4: Nietzsche et cetera“ mit Texten von Arno Böhler, Susanne Valerie Granzer, Anke Haarmann, Krassimira Kruschkova, Alice Lagaay, Anton Rey und Elisabeth Schäfer.

Herausgegeben von Arno Böhler (Philosoph/Wien) und Susanne Valerie Granzer (Schauspielerin/Max Reinhardt Seminar Wien) im Rahmen des FWF PEEK Projektes „Artist-Philosophers. Philosophy AS Arts-Based Research“ [AR 275-G21].

Performance Philosophy Journal, December 2017

Publication language: English / German

This special issue of the Performance Philosophy journal—the first bilingual edition in German and English—is one output of the research project “Artist-Philosophers. Philosophy AS Arts-based Research”, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF): AR275-G21 in the context of the Programme for Arts-based Research (PEEK). A main question of the project was: “What happens to the traditional image of philosophy, once philosophers start to stage philosophy and implement arts-based practices into their discipline?” Starting from the philosophical assumption that meanings and possibilities are generated immanently out of the differential relations somebody shares with others within a concrete earthly milieu, we realised two main events in the course of the above-mentioned research project, on which this publication is based: The research festival Philosophy on Stage #4 „Artist-Philosophers. Nietzsche et cetera“ at Tanzquartier Wien in November 2015 and the conference “The Concept of Immanence in Philosophy and the Arts” at Angewandte Innovation Lab (AIL) Vienna. This issue of the Performance Philosophy Journal comprises texts by: Arno Böhler, Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca, Paulo de Assis, Susanne Valerie Granzer, Alice Lagaay, Dieter Mersch, John Ó Maoilearca, Freddie Rokem, Elisabeth Schäfer, Andreas Urs Sommer, Marcus Steinweg, Tanja Traxler, Stephen Zepke.
