Summary: | Why do people act? Why are other people drawn to watch them? How is acting as a performing art related to role-playing outside the theater? As the first philosophical study devoted to acting, Acts sheds light on some of the more evasive aspects of the acting experience - such as the import of the actor's voice, the ethical unease sometimes felt while embodying particular sequences, and the meaning of inspriration. Tzachi Zamir explores acting's relationship to everyday role-playing through a surprising range of examples of "lived acting," including pornography, masochism, and eating disorders. By unearthing the deeper mobilizing structures that underlie dissimilar forms of staged and non-staged role-playing, Acts offers a multilayered meditation on the percolation from acting to life. -- from back cover. |
