[eBook] Non-Representational Theory and the Creative Arts

This book presents distinct perspectives from both geographically-oriented creative practices and geographers working with arts-based processes.  In doing so, it fills a significant gap in the already sizeable body of non-representational discourse by bringing together images and reflections on performances, art practice, theatre, dance, and sound production alongside theoretical contributions and examples of creative writing.  It considers how contemporary art making is being shaped by spatial enquiry and how geographical research has been influenced by artistic practice.  It provides a clear and concise overview of the principles of non-representational theory for researchers and practitioners in the creative arts and, across its four sections, demonstrates the potential for non-representational theory to bring cultural geography and contemporary art closer than ever before.
