In this introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Performance Studies (PS), topics may include the politics of representation; performing race/performing gender; performance and performativity; performance ethnography; queer performance; performance historiography; and digital performance. Likely critical readings include Jacques Derrida, J. L. Austin, Judith Butler, Joseph Roach, Diana Taylor, Tina Post, and others. Readings will be paired with one or more cultural performances (play, film, video, performance art, etc.). As well as writing a seminar paper, seminar members are encouraged to apply PS concepts and methods to their own field(s) of interest toward a conference paper or publishable book review.
