Ethics in motion: Radical relationalities in a fractured world.

This issue of Performing Ethos: An International Journal of Ethics in Theatre & Performance (PEET) focuses on the intersections of performance, ethics, and aesthetics, examining how ethos shapes collective experience, artistic processes, and social change. It features three articles, one conversation, and two book reviews that explore diverse topics including VestAndPage’s hybrid "performance opera" rooted in co-creation and vulnerability, Jörg Sternagel’s concept of "queer furnishing" where everyday objects challenge normative structures, and Peggy Phelan’s reflection on dance as an embodied ethical negotiation fostering intersubjectivity. A dialogue between Andrea Pagnes and Amelia Jones discusses performance art’s political role in resisting identity-based oppression and authoritarianism. The book reviews address performance’s role in collective mourning during the pandemic and ethical authorship in radical art practices of the 1970s and 1980s, emphasizing performance as an interdependent, affective process grounded in ethical relationality.
