| Summary: | This article introduces the ‘Poetics of the Clown’, a Ph.D thesis submitted in 2016 to the RCSSD, University of London. This thesis proposes a poetics of clown based on the phenomenological analysis of the core principles of clown practice. This article in particular, seeks to relate these principles to the concept of misfitness. In pursuing this hypothesis of misfitness, the article examines the clown as a pragmatic doer – the initial premise is: a clown is what a clown does. It is not through essence but through the practices of clowning that we can identify what ‘makes’ a clown: not the ‘inner clown’ but the ‘outer clown’ – in a Heideggerian sense – the clown as embodied ‘being-in-the-world’ |
