I'm Not Here: Embodied Methods for Ecological Selfhood

这项研究项目的目的是开发和阐明触发生态自我的第一手躯体体验的方法。我的方法是作为研究的实践，使用Butoh舞蹈和现象学的自我反省方法，以及对观众、研讨会参与者和其他艺术家的采访。研究背景包括人类世文化理论、布托，以及关于新自由主义消费资本主义动态的社会学理论，因为它与自我模式有关。消费者模式将与佛教中的生态敏锐做法和万物有灵论的做法进行对比，以展示消费者自我的偶然性及其对生态危机时代的糟糕适应。

The aim of this research project is to develop and articulate methods for triggering first-hand, somatic experiences of ecological selfhood. My methodology is Practice as Research, employing Butoh dance and phenomenological methods of self-reflection and interviews with audiences, workshop participants and other artists. The research context encompasses Anthropocene cultural theory, Butoh, and sociological theory on the dynamics of neoliberal consumer capitalism as it pertains to models of selfhood. The consumer model will be contrasted with ecologically astute practices found in Buddhism and animistic practices to show the contingency of consumer selfhood and its poor fit for times of ecological crisis.
