The argument for queering 'The origin of the work of art'

About Chapter:
As noted by Julian Young, Heidegger’s philosophies are contaminated with his own political perversions. T J Bacon proposes a queer reclaiming in the field of Heideggerian phenomenology through this provocation and manifesto.

About the Book:
This book introduces the study and application of performance art through phenomenology, inviting readers to explore contemporary performance art and activate their own practices. Using queer phenomenology to unpack the importance of a multiplicity of self/s, the book teaches readers how to be academically rigorous when capturing embodied experiences. Through approachable exercises, definitions of key phenomenological terms, and interviews and insights from some of the best examples of transgressive performance art practice, the work enriches the wider scholarship of theater studies. Situated within contemporary phenomenological scholarship, the book will appeal to radical artists, educators, and practitioner-researchers.
