Choreo-Ethical Assemblages: Embodied Research as Cosmopoietic Oecology

How can we understand the world around us through our bodies, ethical considerations, and oecological awareness, and how can we actively shape it through cosmopoietic, generative forces? Choreo-ethical Assemblages - Embodied Research as Cosmopoietic OEcology explores the interconnections between choreography, ethics, and oecology through embodied research. The book presents micro-phenomenological actualisation and purposeful polysemy as methods for exploring subjective experiences and opening them up to diverse interpretations. Methodical-artistic approaches, such as the generative forces in choreographic environments that do not determine experience but open up spaces of resonance through ambiguity, are discussed. Thus, comprehension itself becomes a process that allows for and stimulates diverse interpretations. The twin existence of aesthetics and ethics, as well as narratives of "bare bodies," make the intertwining of body, narrative, and responsibility tangible. "Choreo-ethical assemblages" make socio-aesthetic sensitisation and epistemic singularities tangible and unfold the political and poetic dimension of an artistic research that lives the relationality of diverse forces as choreo-ethical practice.

Interdisciplinary perspective: connects choreography, ethics, and ecology, thereby engaging diverse disciplines such as dance studies, philosophy, psychotherapy, ecology, and artistic research. Innovative research methods: introduces new approaches such as micro-phenomenological embodiment to explore subjective experience. Relevance to social issues: addresses topics like vulnerability, body politics, the environment, and ecological sustainability.
