Cognitive Studies in Literature and Performance: Theorizing Performer-Object Interaction in Grotowski, Kantor, and Meyerhold

Paavolainen, T.

Using cognitive theory and ecological ontology, Paavolainen investigates how the interplay of actors and objects affords a degree of enjoyment and understanding, whether or not the viewer speaks the language.
