Knowing as Moving Perception, Memory, and Place

"Susan Leigh Foster demonstrates the superb bounty of thinking-as-moving in connectedness to the worlds that surround us. Knowing as Moving elaborates how continued engagement with study reveals worlds beyond worlds of ways to be with ideas in motion. Shimmering with insights gleaned from an exquisite ability to move ideas toward each other, Foster proves again that dancing supports the being-in-time that humans must engage in to participate in the urgent processes of life." - Thomas F. DeFrantz, Professor of Performance Studies and Theatre, Northwestern University

"Susan Leigh Foster is preeminent in dance studies and one of the germinal architects of the field's successful emergence. Knowing as Moving will count among one of my personal favorites in Foster's incredibly impressive oeuvre for the bravery and grace with which she takes on the task of thinking ever more laterally through and away from the very same Western philosophy and movement traditions in which she has come up. A broad, beautiful, smart, and timely book." - Rebecca Schneider, Professor of Modern Culture and Media, Brown University
