| Combining phenomenological analysis with dance and performance analysis and affect theory, A Theatre of Affect: The Corporeal Turn in Samuel Beckettâ s Drama takes stock of the various ways in which the body in Samuel Beckettâ 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 Beckettâ s stage-images cannot be mapped onto conventional discursive â meaningsâ , the significance of the bodyâ s formal modulations is affective in the sense that the import of such changes is immediately recognised and felt as â significantâ by spectators. Beckettâ s theatre of affect therefore predicates on the infinitesimal stirrings of subliminal meaning-making that continuously shape and create the world in experience. |
