Performance, Bodies, Politics,
This special issue considers the intersections of performance and public political life, the efficacy and strategies of performance in that arena, and the ways in which performative actions enable protests and processes of political change to remain open and non-violent. Looked at through a performance framework, how can the expressive, experiential terrain of the body meet, interrogate, and re-calibrate our understanding of ongoing questions of agency, action, and subjectivity in order to attend to the various ways in which bodies tell their own stories at the intersections of arts, activism, and scholarship?
