Abstract
In this essay, the conception of listening as a performative act is offered as a critical, reflexive, and embodied act of engaging with and learning from the other. The example of a specific performance of trumpet player Miles Davis provides a starting place for considering the ways we might performatively listen to life stories, geographic locations, and music. This consideration of what it might mean to listen performatively to a life story in and from a specific geographic location extends, adds to, and transforms the pedagogical implications and possibilities of performatively listening to the other.
