style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The aim of this issue of <I><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Performance Research</SPAN></I> is to investigate the
ways in which recent theatre-thinking has been converging upon matters of
appearance. Beginning from the assumption that the materiality of appearance is
at the heart of concerns with the very ‘stuff’ and substance of theatre and
performance, the issue seeks to examine the role appearance plays in the
construction, circulation and contestation of lived realities, political
identifications and processes of subjectification, and in the mechanics and
dynamics of the theatrical event itself. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The issue seeks to explore the
potential and pitfalls of adopting a term infused with pejoratively
anti-theatrical echoes of semblance, deception, and mimetic fakery; whilst at
the same time examining the correlation between modes of appearance and
practices of <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">dis</SPAN></I>appearance and
their inscription in the performative dynamics of power. The editors’ intention
is to investigate the ways in which appearance matters in affecting and
positively producing the conditions, forms and relations structuring what
Jacques Rancière calls ‘the distribution of the sensible’: the political
organisation of sense-making activities and apparatuses and the roles played by
social agents within them. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Questions of appearance – and their
relationship to questions of politics – of course abound and the issue will seek
to examine them from a variety of different directions and perspectives. Giorgio
Agamben, for example, insists that ‘the task of politics is to return appearance
itself to appearance, to cause appearance itself to appear’ – indicating the
importance of appearance as a modality of human exposure and the manifestation
of a political ‘struggle for truth’ (<I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Means
Without End, </SPAN></I>2000: 95). Alain Badiou likewise identifies the logic of
appearance – or rather, appearing – with a significant shift in his thinking
that enables a theory of relation and the ability to account for the variability
and volatility of the relationship between different elements of a
situation.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Questions of practice – social,
political, and artistic – are at the heart of On Appearance’s theoretical
concerns. Performance practitioners from Jérôme Bel to La Ribot, from the
Wooster Group to Forced Entertainment, from Societas Rafaello Sanzio to Tadeusz
Kantor, have been at the forefront of examining theatre’s dependence on, and
departure from, questions of appearance. The issue will therefore be concerned
with exploring how performance has articulated concerns with the politics, and
practical dynamics, of appearance.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

examine the above ‘philosophical’ questions – questions raised within the
philosophy of performance itself – which at the same time investigate the
relationship between philosophical and theatrical modes of thinking and
practice. Contributions should be grounded in the explication of concrete
examples and the contexts of their appearance. The editors actively encourage
submissions that explore these questions from a variety of cultural, artistic
and critical standpoints and in a range of academic and creative forms: essays,
interviews, dialogues, artists’ pages, designs, inventions, magic tricks,
prestidigitations, etc. A strong visual dimension is integral to our conception
of the issue, and we envisage the inclusion of a number of photographs, plans,
