Acting—the process of portraying someone whom the actor is not—plays a major role in social life.1Actors and actresses often portray fictional characters or historical figures on stage or on camera. No matter what technique actors use, either becoming emotionally involved in their roles or being guided by a model, what actors do on stage or on came...
I.A. Acting as Pretense
Recently, in the philosophy of mind and cognitive sciences, there has been a tendency to consider acting as a case of pretense (Harris et al. 1993; Goldstein and Bloom 2011; Kavanaugh and Harris 1999; Nichols and Stich 2000). Further, some literature on pretense is potentially relevant to the philosophical and psychological discussion of acting. For example, some findings on children’s pretend play can support the diagnosis of the motivation for acting. Suppose that a child pretends to be a c...
I.B. Acting and Display
The thesis of acting as pretense is based on the philosophy of mind and cognitive science. In contrast, Hamilton (2009) proposes an alternative theory, the display theory of acting. This theory is derived from performance theorists’ works on ritual and display behavior in human cultures from anthropological, ethological, and sociological perspectives. Ritual and display behavior can be seen as an information-transfer system; individuals are capable of conveying information through ritual and...
I.C. Acting as Performance
In daily life, people often use the term ‘performance’ to refer to ‘acting.’ Film actors’ acting can be called “cinematic performance,” and theater actors’ acting can be named “theatrical performance.” However, strictly, the term ‘acting’ cannot be identical with theatrical and cinematic performance. In fact, those mediums of art that we call “theater” and “film” include not only aspects of performance, but also those of nonperformance. The latter include background music, stage setting, ligh...
It is implausible to look for the definition of acting among varieties of theories of acting techniques, such as Stanislavski’s system, Method acting or the Brechtian method, because these theories concern the question of what is good acting, not what is acting. In other words, they are not descriptive but normative theories of acting. Different th...
In Section II, I introduced a definition of acting involving two essential conditions: (1) actors intend their audiences to imagine that they are identical to their characters; (2) actors use their own features to represent the features that the characters would have. In this section, I consider some cases that are not like ordinary actions but do ...
Many theories of acting, such as method acting, try to give a normative definition of acting: What is good acting? Unlike normative theories of onstage acting, this article’s aim is to give a conceptual explanation of acting: What is actuallyacting? Acting is a process of communication between actors and audiences. One of its necessary components i...
Acting is an activity in which a story is told by means of its enactment by an actor who adopts a character—in theatre, television, film, radio, or any other medium that makes use of the mimetic mode.

Acting, the performing art in which movement, gesture, and intonation are used to realize a fictional character for the stage, for motion pictures, or for television. (Read Lee Strasberg’s 1959 Britannica essay on acting.) Acting is generally agreed to be a matter less of mimicry, exhibitionism, or.
