Reading group - Erin Manning, The Minor Gesture

We 10 Dec 2025 15:00 – 17:00, Meeting - Reuvensplaats 1.46a, Leiden University

The LUCAS research reading group The Role of Experience in Arts of Criticism, Rhetoric, and Aesthetics is dedicated to examining affective, cognitive-enactive, and new materialist approaches to the arts.

It is open to anyone interested in experiential interactions between the arts (in a broad sense), their makers, and audience

Come join the next LUCAS “Role of Experience” reading group session to discuss some chapters from Erin Manning, The Minor Gesture (2016). Texts for the reading:

1) the Introduction: In a Minor Key

2) ch. 8: ‘What a Body Can Do’, an interview with Manning

3) (some of) ch. 3: ‘Weather Patterns’, to see how Manning uses the minor gesture in (artistic) practice
