Genres of Dramatic Thought
Information
The goal of this group is to qualify the dramatic terms of the affinity between philosophy and performance. By tracing the parallel between the forms that philosophical writing adopted and their corresponding dramatic visions, this group strives to demonstrate how the genre-specific relations between philosophy and drama reveal the respective role that suffering plays in the act of understanding.

ANNOUNCING:
PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY AND THE FUTURE OF GENRE:
THINKING THROUGH TRAGEDY & COMEDY
An international symposium to be held at the ICI Berlin on
December 4-5, 2014.
What is the relation between laughter and thought? How does suffering bring about understanding? Do some philosophies have a comic rather than a tragic vision? The contemporary fascination with how performance and philosophy overlap begs an appeal to genre studies. Tragedy and comedy can function as exemplary sites on which the tensions between theatre, philosophy and performance are played out.
Bringing together performers and scholars from the fields of philosophy, literature and theater, this symposium will investigate how contrasting genres inform the relation between performance and philosophy.

Simon Critchley

Along with over 20 distinguished seminar presenters from around the world
Join our roundtable discussions, in-depth seminar sessions and keynote lectures and take part in the lively debate about philosophy’s reliance upon specific dramatic techniques. By thinking the productive clash between generic structure and performative flow, we seek to trace the future of genre in its philosophical dimension in a post-dramatic, post-disciplinary world.
Attendance is free and open to all. The symposium will be held in English. Please visit the website for more details and a complete list of participants:

At the meeting in Prague, one of the issues I will address is the alleged distinction between acting and performance. (I believe that is a false distinction, by the way; and will provide the basis for thinking it so.) Look for the panel led by David Saltz. This might well be relevant to this group.
Best,
