What Is Expressive Theory?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Expressive theory has been sketched in sections 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 of chapter 4 dealing with (oni)ontology of performance. We have seen that expression splits into semantics and rhetorics: What is expressed, and how this is performed. Performance theory as it stands now partitions this complex of expressivity into three big themes: emotion, gesture, and analysis. These refer not to the rhetoric aspect, but to the variety of contents that are transferred to the audience, i.e. to the two axes of realities and embodiments on which these contents are distributed.
