Challenging the common opposition between the conceptual and the aesthetic, Erin Manning and Brian Massumi \u201cthink through\u201d a wide range of creative practices in the process of their making, revealing how thinking and artfulness are intimately, creatively, and inseparably intertwined. They rediscover this intertwining at the heart of everyday perception and investigate its potential for new forms of activism at the crossroads of politics and art.<\/p>\n<p>Emerging from active collaborations, the book analyzes the experiential work of the architects and conceptual artists Arakawa and Gins, the improvisational choreographic techniques of William Forsythe, the recent painting practice of Bracha Ettinger, as well as autistic writers\u2019 self-descriptions of their perceptual world and the experimental event making of the SenseLab collective. Drawing from the idiosyncratic vocabularies of each creative practice, and building on the vocabulary of process philosophy, the book reactivates rather than merely describes the artistic processes it examines. The result is a thinking-with and a writing-in-collaboration-with these processes and a demonstration of how philosophy co-composes with the act in the making. <em>Thought in the Act <\/em>enacts a collaborative mode of thinking in the act at the intersection of art, philosophy, and politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Authors: <\/b>Erin Manning and Brian Massumi<br \/>\n<b>Publisher: <\/b>University of Minnesota Press (2014)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Softcover<\/strong>: 224 pages<br \/>\n<b>Language: <\/b>English<br \/>\n<strong>ISBN13:<\/strong> 978-0-8166-7967-6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17290,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[135,146,206],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-15131","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-english-en","product_cat-theoretical-texts-en","product_cat-philosophy-aesthetics-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thought in the Act - Passages in the Ecology of Experience - Books on the Move<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booksonthemove.fr\/produit\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thought in the Act - Passages in the Ecology of Experience - Books on the Move\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Authors: Erin Manning and Brian Massumi Publisher: University of Minnesota Press (2014)  Softcover: 224 pages Language: English ISBN13: 978-0-8166-7967-6\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.booksonthemove.fr\/produit\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Books on the Move\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Librairiebooksonthemove\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-06-12T13:23:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.booksonthemove.fr\/media\/bom_2102-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1383\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/\",\"name\":\"Thought in the Act - Passages in the Ecology of Experience - Books on the Move\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/media\\\/bom_2102-1.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-06-19T10:48:10+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-06-12T13:23:47+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/media\\\/bom_2102-1.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/media\\\/bom_2102-1.jpg\",\"width\":900,\"height\":1383},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/produit\\\/thought-in-the-act-passages-in-the-ecology-of-experience\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Accueil\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"online store\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.booksonthemove.fr\\\/en\\\/online-shop\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Thought in the Act &#8211;
