About this book

The first edited volume to examine philosopher Slavoj Žižek's influence on, and his relevance for, theatre and performance studies. Featuring a brand new essay from Žižek himself, this is an indispensable contribution to the emerging field of Performance Philosophy.

Reviews

“This collection is a welcome introduction to a series that has been eagerly anticipated by those engaged in the growing field of performance philosophy. … This book is aimed at those interested in philosophy, those interested in performance and, primarily, those scholars who are interested in how each speaks to the other.” (Liz Tomlin, Contemporary Theatre Review, Vol. 26 (1), February, 2016)
