The \"Exquisite Corpse,\" as it was called, is still very much alive, having found artistic and critical expression from the days of the Surrealists down to our own. This method has been used in collective artistic protocols as the \"rules of engagement\" for experimental art, as a form of social interaction, and as an alternative mode of critical thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection is the first to address both historical and contemporary works that employ the ritual of the \u003cem\u003ecadavre exquis\u003c\/em\u003e. It offers a unique overview of the efforts of scholars and artists to articulate new notions of crossing temporal and spatial boundaries and to experience in a new way the body's mutability through visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic frames. Bringing together diverse writers from across disciplinary boundaries, this volume continues the cultural and methodological innovations that have unfolded since the first days of the \"Exquisite Corpse.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKanta Kochhar-Lindgren is an associate professor of performance studies at the University of Washington, Bothell, and author of \u003cem\u003eHearing Difference: The Third Ear in Experimental, Deaf, and Multicultural Theater\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavis Schneiderman is chair of the American Studies Program and an associate professor of English at Lake Forest College.
