In Manning’s splendid book, autism comes to signify not a disorder but a relational “dance of attention,” one that refuses to strand any entity at the margin of our concern.\"—\u003cb\u003eRalph James Savarese\u003c\/b\u003e, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eAutism and the Concept of Neurodiversity\u003c\/i\u003e, a special issue of \u003ci\u003eDisability Studies Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003eAlways More Than One\u003c\/i\u003e, Erin Manning produces a truly original choreographic thinking. I don't just mean that she writes about choreography. She thinks how the body moves, and moves her writing in step with that thinking. She performs an expanded choreography, developed in dialogue with dance, putting dance in dialogue with other practices. A must for dancers who think - and philosophers who wish they could dance.\"—\u003cb\u003eWilliam Forsythe\u003c\/b\u003e, Choreographer and Artistic Director of The Forsythe Company\u003cbr\u003e\"In this book, Erin Manning takes us on an amazing journey. It is a journey of philosophical thought, to be sure; but it is also a journey of bodies in motion, through landscapes that are enlivened and transformed by their passage. Always More Than One is a book about the vitality of the in-between. It presents a vision of life adding to life, whether in the simplest everyday encounters, or in the densely articulated webs of works of art.\"—\u003cb\u003eSteven Shaviro\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003ePost Cinematic Affect\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Through inventive language and a deep engagement with continental philosophy, her authoritative text pushes thought to the limits of expressibility, and presents to the reader a world that shimmers with potential.\" -- Megan Bridge * Dance Chronicle *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrelude \/ Brian Massumi ix\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments xxv\u003cbr\u003e 1.
