Know about the book -

On the Threshold of Knowing is written by Lucia Rainer and published by transcript Verlag. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3839438047 (ISBN 10) and 9783839438046 (ISBN 13).

In this in-depth analysis of artistic and academic lectures and performances, Lucia Rainer features an innovative conceptual and methodological tool that augments Goffman's Frame Analysis with a praxeological perspective. This way, she gives profound insight into how knowledge – as a practice and a concept – is associated with clarity rather than truth. Based on four case studies – including John Cage's unpublished and unabridged audio recording of Lecture on Nothing – the study explores how the concept of lecture performances, which adheres to two frames that never entirely blend, provides a space to (re-)negotiate the artistic-academic relationship.
