On Techno-Aesthetics and Performance

Abstract

On Techno-Aesthetics and Performance: Movement, Dance, Cinema and Everyday Life introduces the pretext for this issue of JSTA and how it relates to the research of the invited editors, Sílvia Pinto Coelho and Liliana Coutinho, the invited author, Ludovic Duhem, and each of the researchers that responded to our initial call for papers. It also presents an understanding of techno-aesthetics related to J. J. Gibson's theory of affordances, and to a particular proposal of choreographic thinking. Finally, it establishes a relationship with all the articles in the special issue of JSTA.
