Abstract

The book collects essays based on papers presented at the 6th International Conference on Consciousness, Theatre, Literature and the Arts (CTLA), held from June 10-12, 2015, at St Francis College, Brooklyn Heights, New York. The conference was attended by seventy delegates from twenty countries across the world— the twenty-three essays in this book come from delegates from twelve of those countries. The range of essays in the book reflects the range of material presented and discussed at the conference, across the fields or disciplines of philosophy, literature, fine arts, music, dance, performance and theatre. The book, the 6th in the series, with all previous ones also published by CSP, will appeal to the growing international community of researchers active and interested in the study of literature, theatre and the arts from a consciousness studies perspective.
