It fills gaps as it opens gateways. It investigates as it expands. With 34 chapters by an inter- national lineup of distinguished scholars, each on topics their authors consider paramount to the future of performance studies, the aim of Performance Studies: Key Words, Concepts and Theories is to introduce and welcome students to that future while contributing productively to the field’s wide-ranging, adventurous, diverse and conscientious nature that has worked to make performance studies so innovative, valuable and excit- ing. As an academic field of research and teaching, performance studies is about 50 years old.1 Although analysis of on-stage performance, such as in a theatre or circus, and off-stage performance, such as context-specific social interactions or political protests, has been common to academic study since antiquity, it was not until the later 20th century that scholars began to recognize performance studies as its own field, and not as a subfield of theatre, cultural, music, or visual studies, anthropology, psychology or sociology, among others. This led to the establishment of bachelor and doctoral degrees in performance studies as well as performance studies departments, organizations, journals and conferences. Thus, performance studies is not beholden to any one academic discipline or method in particular and is enthusiastically committed to interdisciplinary analysis of multiple variables to any performance, variables potentially related to everything from authorial intention to means of artistic production and dissemination to audience experience and political impact. Performance studies began as an interdisciplinary field, and because of its inclusive approach, combined with its dedication to researching and communicat- ing across fields, arts disciplines and cultures, performance studies is now one of the most transdisciplinary and fast-growing fields in universities today. Because of performance studies’ extensive scope of subject matter, which includes the various theories and methodologies it uses to explore performance, students learn to better comprehend performance – whether in a theatre, workplace, or the street – as an operative concept and lived factor in everyday life. Working along these lines, the primary purpose of this book is to introduce students to the directions in which the field of 1 Copyrighted material – 9780230247307 Copyrighted material – 9780230247307 Introduction: The Ethical Drive performance studies is moving through the key words, concepts and theo- ries that are shaping its future. My intention here is to highlight the methodology that the diverse chap- ters collectively embody. In other words, it is not my intention to introduce the individual chapters, but to introduce and discuss a mode of critical inquiry that is proposed by the contributions to performance studies that the chapters in this book jointly comprise. In doing this, I want to draw attention to what I term ‘the ethical drive’ that I believe has significantly fueled the field of performance studies since its inception, over the past 20 years especially, and that directly informs its future, as can be seen in the chapters assembled here. The ethical drive refers to the field’s commitment, expressed by scholars working within the field, to critically and construc- tively address, through analysis of on- and off-stage performance, issues related to sexual, gender, class, race, cultural, aesthetic, ethnic and national differences, in the interest of fostering shared understanding and respect, social equality and the betterment of life for all people. The idea to edit a volume of new and forward-looking chapters on key words, concepts and theories in performance studies was inspired, first, by the longstand- ing need for such a book for introductory courses in performance, theatre and cultural studies. Second, the benefits to the publication of a volume with the originality, breadth and rigor demonstrated by the chapters are deep and far-reaching. This is not just for the fields of performance, theatre and cultural studies to which the chapters specifically contribute but also, as models in methodology and objective, for all fields aspiring to trans- disciplinarity: researching, communicating and collaborating within and across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Hence, the volume contributes inwardly and outwardly at the same time. It performs the field’s impor- tance well beyond audiences – scholars and students – directly invested in performance studies while it reinforces, for the academy at large, the disci- pline’s distinctiveness, constitution and authority as a site for the explora- tion and transfer of specific knowledge. As a necessary component to the structure of their investigations and statements, the chapters purposefully connect performance studies to a number of disciplines and subdisciplines, the aims of which it often shares. These include critical theory, political science, ethnography, social geography, cognitive neuroscience, philoso- phy, translation studies and visual arts. The key words, concepts and theories posited by the chapters do not stem from a drive for the new, the trendy, or the marketable. Although there is considerable pressure within performance studies, as within most academic fields, to come up with a new concept or approach, such moti- vation is not the feeling one gets from reading the chapters. This indiffer- 2 Copyrighted material – 9780230247307 Copyrighted material – 9780230247307 Bryan Reynolds ence to such opportunism was a goal of mine when determining which chapters to include, but it was also an aspiration easily achieved within the field. The ethical drive at the core of performance studies makes the field serious, benevolent and activist. However idealist and utopian this might sound, I believe that the field is occupied predominantly by people hoping to contribute positively to the world through their scholarship and teach- ing. The ethical drive of performance studies is the field’s common denom- inator, its most impressive attribute and its greatest source of inspiration. It does not take as its primary objective the determining of right and wrong either generally or within a given context. Instead, it is about revealing the stakes, contingencies, perspectives and other factors that come into play any time humans interact with each other, and in the cases discussed in this volume, when a modality of performance is involved – performance defined here as intentional expression for an audience. The ethical drive to performance studies is beneficent, affirming and generative rather than judgmental, divisive and policing. In their identifications, formulations and delineations of key words, concepts and theories, the contributors have conducted what I would call, using the terminology of transversal poetics, ‘fugitive explorations’.2 Trans- versal poetics is a combined sociocognitive theory, performance aesthetics and critical methodology for which process, mobility, adaptability, inclu- sion and affirmation are vital. Simply put, transversal poetics is the name of an approach to conducting research,

    LEAF, BARK, THORN, ROOT: ARBOREAL ECOCRITICISM AND SHAKESPEAREAN DRAMA by Jason Charles Hogue DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Amy L. Tigner, Supervising Professor Stacy Alaimo Jacqueline Fay ABSTRACT Leaf, Bark, Thorn, Root: Arboreal Ecocriticism and Shakespearean Drama Jason Charles Hogue, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Amy L. Tigner Leaf, Bark, Thorn, Root traces the appearance of trees and their constituent parts in five Shakespearean plays: Macbeth, The Tempest, 3 Henry VI, Richard III, and As You Like It. The dissertation shows how these plays reveal arboreal agencies intra-acting with the characters of the play-texts by assessing the mergings of human and arboreal bodies, as well as instances of hacking and hewing inflicted across these bodies. Taking a posthumanist approach informed by ecomaterialism, critical plant studies, and affect theory, I argue that these sites of painful human- arboreal encounter in Shakespeare’s plays initiate potentials for thinking-with and feeling-with, across not only species (in the spirit of Donna Haraway’s Companion Species Manifesto) but also across biological kingdoms. Throughout the dissertation, I complicate philosopher Michael Marder’s theories of plant-thinking via these early modern depictions of and relations to trees, whose complex existences inform the texts in multiple registers. The trees of Shakespeare offer ways into theorizing plant-being that not only reflect early modern preoccupations but also resonate across the centuries, potentially serving as a bridge between historicist and presentist methodological concerns, a useful nexus for facing looming ecological issues like climate change, the effects of which long-lived trees bear bodily witness in their annual growth rings and in the shifting of leaf longevity.

  • A Polemic Anthony Kubiak
    Fall 2005 85 Soul Death and the Death of Soul in Critical Theory: A Polemic Anthony Kubiak The tensions between religion and politics in the United States have been part of this country’s national identity from the beginning. The framers of the Constitution, while trying to accommodate the religious fervor of Puritan culture, at the same time did not wish to relinquish their Enlightenment beliefs in the rational basis of self-governance, so they walked a conceptual tightrope in trying to satisfy both the Thomas Paines and the Cotton Mathers of early American culture. The irony is that while this separation of Church and State was upheld precisely to prevent the rampant religious warfare so recently scourging Europe, the tensions between secularists and religious peoples remained in the United States long after it waned on the Continent. The tensions are, in fact, very much with us today. But even though these tensions remain, the precise alignments of religion and politics in the course of United States history have fluctuated. While in large part upholding the values of Puritanism, religion in American history has also at times taken the side of progressive thought, especially in the mid-twentieth century, when the interplay between Liberation Theology and the Civil Rights Movement defined “traditional values” not in terms of sexual repression and nationalism, but rather as a duty to the poor, the oppressed, and the powerless. The origins of what has come to be called Liberation Theology began in the 1950s and 1960s, as a reaction against somewhat earlier populist, but repressive, regimes that were more or less the norm in the southern Americas, such as the Brazilian dictatorship of Getúlio Dornelles Vargas1 or the government of Mexican populist leader Lázaro Cárdenas.2 Perhaps the most well-known and typical example of this type of regime appeared in Argentina, in the form of the Perón government, which consolidated power and economic influence through similar populist and nationalist political policy.

    Interplay: The Method and Potential of a Cognitive Scientific Approach to Theatre1 Amy Cook Theatre works on the body and mind of the spectator, changing minds and touch- ing bodies at the deepest level. As a theatre scholar and practitioner, I am driven to understand the nature of that “work”: how is it that an embodied story told onstage has the power to “move” an audience? At a time when most people are more accus- tomed to the dramaturgical and rhetorical simplicity of a television comedy, how do audiences unpack the language and storytelling in a play like Richard III? Theatre and performance studies have productively turned to theories of anthropology, psychology, linguistics, and others to seek answers to the questions that drive the field.2 In a move likely to provide the kind of jolt to the field that Turner and Freud once did, scholars are now seeking—and finding—answers in the cognitive sciences.3 Amy Cook is a Mellon Fellow at Emory University. She is currently completing a book, Shakespearean Neuroplay: Where Cognitive Science Meets Performance Studies, that deploys cognitive science to illuminate Shakespeare and theatrical performance. 1 I am grateful for the comments and suggestions of Bryan Reynolds, Rhonda Blair, Bruce McConachie, David Saltz, and Gilles Fauconnier. This work was supported by the Mellon Foundation and Emory University (Theatre Studies Department). 2 Erving Goffman and Victor Turner provide methods of analyzing the performance of everyday life that remain seminal in performance studies; see, for example, Goffman’s Frame Analysis: An Essay on the Organization of Experience (New York: Harper, 1974) and Turner’s The Anthropology of Performance (New York: PAJ Publications, 1986).

  • Beyond New Historicism?
    Introduction: Beyond New Historicism? John Drakakis University of Stirling, English Monika Fludernik University of Freiburg, Germany, English Literature This special issue arose from questions of whether or not the New Historicist paradigm in early modern studies has been superseded by newer theoretical approaches and, if so, whether these have entirely broken with New His- toricist tenets (“after”) or are in constructive dialogue with them (“beyond”). This introduction and the following essays lay out a number of considerations that argue for the existence of newer approaches; at the same time, they demonstrate that questions dominant in New Historicist work, as well as New Historicist modes of writing, continue to inform recent research in early modern studies. In the first chapter of his book After Theory, Terry Eagleton (2003: 1 – 2) asserts: “There can be no going back to an age when it was enough to pronounce Keats delectable or Milton a doughty spirit. It is not as though the whole project [i.e., theory] was a ghastly mistake on which some merciful soul has now blown the whistle, so that we can all return to whatever it was that we were doing before Ferdinand de Saussure heaved over the horizon.” Eagleton’s (ibid.: 2) insistence that we should not return to a pretheoretical literary impressionism notwithstanding, he is nostalgic about an “older gen- eration” of theoreticians who followed in the wake of Saussure, or whose work has come into the public domain as a consequence of the reception of Poetics Today 35:4 (Winter 2014) DOI
