The Phenomenology of a Performative Knowledge System Summary

The Phenomenology of a Performative Knowledge System: Dancing with Native American Epistemology by Shay Welch

This book investigates the phenomenological ways that dance choreographing and dance performance exemplify both Truth and meaning-making within Native American epistemology, from an analytic philosophical perspective. Given that within Native American communities dance is regarded both as an integral cultural conduit and a doorway to a powerful wisdom, Shay Welch argues that dance and dancing can both create and communicate knowledge. She explains that dance-as a form of oral, narrative storytelling-has the power to communicate knowledge of beliefs and histories, and that dance is a form of embodied narrative storytelling. Welch provides analytic clarity on how this happens, what conditions are required for it to succeed, and how dance can satisfy the relational and ethical facets of Native epistemology.

The Phenomenology of a Performative Knowledge System Reviews

The book is a marvel of philosophical insight worthy the attention of anyone interested in its many fields of address, from epistemology, to embodiment, to dance. Just read the book. (Sebastian Purcell, Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective, September 18, 2019)
