‘There is nothing to hold onto here’: complicity and vulnerability in Gavin Krastin’s On Seeing Red and Other Fantasies (2015) “这里没有什么可抓住的”:加文·克拉斯廷的《看见红色和其他幻想》(2015)中的共谋和脆弱

In this article, I analyse some of the ways in which Gavin Krastin’s On Seeing Red and Other Fantasies (2015) engages with outrage and protest in a self-reflexive way. The idea of art as means to question and institute change in society, is contentious and my discussion here focuses on how forms of resistance, are easily subsumed within a capitalist context. On Seeing Red comments on the failure or the limits of ‘fantasy’ as a means of resistance and yet uses the make-believe platform of performance to express a critique of capitalist inertia and escapism. Krastin frames anger by turning his attention to form, investigating his own medium, that of performance art/live art. Specifically, the failure or limits of performance as a means to protest social, political and artistic concerns. The analysis is centred around two points of interest: firstly, how the work can be analysed in relation to the notions of deterritorialization and reterritorialization as theorized by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1987). The article then veers on to engage with the idea of the ‘actant’ via Susan Bennet (2010) as a way of exploring how the affective presence of inanimate performers (objects) in the work reveal a co-dependency between the human and the non-human. More specifically, how the use of props in the performance reveals the vulnerability of the performing body. The paper concludes with the idea that precarity offers the possibility of a mode of resistance through performance.
在这篇文章中,我分析了加文·克拉斯廷的《看见红色和其他幻想》(2015)以自我反射的方式表达愤怒和抗议的一些方式。艺术作为质疑和推动社会变革的手段,这一观点是有争议的,我在这里的讨论集中在抵抗形式如何容易地被纳入资本主义背景下。《看见红色》评论了“幻想”作为抵抗手段的失败或局限,但却用虚构的表演平台来表达对资本主义惰性和逃避现实的批判。Krastin通过将注意力转向形式,调查自己的媒介,行为艺术/现场艺术来表达愤怒。具体来说,作为抗议社会、政治和艺术关注的手段,表演的失败或局限。分析集中在两个兴趣点上:首先,如何根据Gilles Deleuze和Felix Guattari(1987)提出的去三元化和再属地化的概念来分析作品。然后,这篇文章通过苏珊·贝内特(Susan Bennet,2010)转向了“行为体”的概念,以此探索作品中无生命表演者(物体)的情感存在如何揭示人类和非人类之间的共同依赖。更具体地说,表演中道具的使用揭示了表演主体的脆弱性。论文的结论是,不稳定性通过性能提供了阻力模式的可能性。

Saartjie Baartman, Nelisiwe Xaba, and me: the politics of looking at South African bodies Saartjie Baartman, Nelisiwe Xaba和我:看南非尸体的政治

Dance Artist/Choreographer Nelisiwe Xaba’s They Look at Me and That Is All They Think (2006) ‘refers to the story of Sara[tjie] Baartman […] the “Hottentot Venus”’ (2006. 9th Jomba! Contemporary dance experience 2006 programme, p. 7) who was taken from her homeland South Africa, and exhibited in Europe in the nineteenth century. After Baartman died in 1815, her remains were displayed in a museum in Paris until 1982. Xaba parallels the story of Baartman to her own experience of performing in Europe as a black South African woman. This article considers how They Look at Me and That Is All They Think exposes the politics surrounding the act of looking at a particular racial and gendered body in both the historical and contemporary context, and how the concept and articulation of the ‘superior’ European subject was dependent on the classification of Baartman, and other black Africans, as exotic others. In my practice-based research project How I Chased a Rainbow And Bruised My Knee (2007), which was a choreographic response to Xaba’s work, I theatricalize my identity as a white South African woman to make visible whiteness, its associated privilege, and how it is dependent on the representation of a particular type of blackness.
舞蹈艺术家/编舞Nelisiwe Xaba的《他们看着我,这就是他们所想的一切》(2006)指的是Sara[tjie] Baartman[…]“霍屯督维纳斯”(2006)的故事。9日Jomba !当代舞蹈经历2006年节目,第7页),她从她的祖国南非被带走,并在19世纪在欧洲展出。巴特曼于1815年去世后,她的遗体一直在巴黎的一家博物馆展出,直到1982年。Xaba将Baartman的故事与她自己作为一名南非黑人女性在欧洲表演的经历相提并论。本文探讨了《他们如何看待我》和《那就是他们所想的一切》揭示了围绕在历史和当代背景下看待特定种族和性别身体的行为的政治,以及“优越”欧洲主体的概念和表达是如何依赖于巴特曼和其他非洲黑人作为异域他人的分类的。在我以实践为基础的研究项目《我是如何追逐彩虹和擦伤膝盖的》(2007)中,我将自己作为南非白人女性的身份戏剧化,以使白人,与之相关的特权,以及它如何依赖于一种特定类型的黑人的表现。

Performative justice? The role of theatre and performance in facilitating transitional justice 表述行为的正义?戏剧和表演在促进过渡时期司法方面的作用

Interactions between theatre and performance studies and trauma and memory studies have grown in depth and ampleur in the last two decades. Theatre and performance can offer new perspectives on, and potential coping mechanisms for, dealing with trauma that are also salient to other fields of study, such as transitional justice. Literature on transitional justice deals with the question of how societies can deal with violence and trauma inflicted by predecessor regimes. This literature stands to be enriched by theatre and performance scholars’ experience with the transformation of trauma, violence, complexity and confusion. Yet, the dominance of legal practitioners in this field has given rise to a learned blind spot for theatre and performance studies, and also scholars in the field of theatre and performance studies themselves have been reluctant to address transitional justice practitioners and scholars. This article proposes a normative and praxis-based perspective on the potential and desirability of integrating insights from the field of theatre and performance studies into transitional justice studies. I do not consider one specific – set of – plays, but rather the techniques and assumptions which theatre makers have been using in their work in transitional societies. The article urges theatre and performance scholars to engage more fully with the domain of transitional justice, in order to increase the legitimacy of performance-based initiatives in the context of transitional justice interventions and to recast some of the basic assumptions of the transitional justice architecture.
在过去的二十年里,戏剧与表演研究以及创伤与记忆研究之间的互动越来越深入和丰富。戏剧和表演可以为处理创伤提供新的视角和潜在的应对机制,这在过渡时期司法等其他研究领域也很突出。关于过渡时期司法的文献论述了社会如何应对前任政权造成的暴力和创伤的问题。戏剧和表演学者对创伤、暴力、复杂性和混乱的转变经验丰富了这些文献。然而,法律从业者在这一领域的主导地位导致了戏剧和表演研究的学术盲点,而且戏剧和表演领域的学者本身也不愿提及过渡时期司法从业者和学者。本文提出了一个基于规范和实践的视角,即将戏剧和表演研究领域的见解纳入过渡司法研究的潜力和可取性。我不考虑一套特定的戏剧,而是考虑戏剧制作人在转型社会的工作中使用的技术和假设。这篇文章敦促戏剧和表演学者更充分地参与过渡司法领域,以便在过渡司法干预的背景下提高基于绩效的举措的合法性,并重塑过渡司法架构的一些基本假设。

Sarafina!: The children’s revolution from Soweto to Broadway Sarafina!:从索韦托到百老汇的儿童革命

On 16 June 1976 an estimated 20,000 black students took to the streets of Soweto, South Africa in protest against the mandatory use of Afrikaans in all segregated schools. Apartheid police responded to the protest march with unrestrained brutal violence, firing live rounds of ammunition at the unarmed school children. This police intervention left thousands injured and 176 people dead. Using Mbongeni Ngema’s Sarafina!: The Sounds of Liberation (1987), this account problematizes the often romanticized post-apartheid portrayal of the usage of art as a tool to fight apartheid. It investigates two interrelated themes. First, it interrogates how the memory of the 1976 student protest was shaped, preserved, remembered and transmitted over space and time through performance as the show toured from apartheid South Africa to the US. Second, through a close reading of the musical this article investigates how Sarafina!’s global circulation and reception negotiated the United Nations sanctioned academic, cultural and sporting boycott imposed on South Africa in 1968, which called for a total ban on all such activities. This close reading of the tour offers a nuanced understanding of the complicated and sometimes contradictory dynamics of the total anti-apartheid cultural boycott movement and the use of art as a weapon for the struggle.
1976年6月16日,估计有20000名黑人学生走上南非索韦托街头,抗议所有种族隔离学校强制使用南非荷兰语。种族隔离警察对抗议游行采取了无节制的残酷暴力,向手无寸铁的学童发射实弹。警方的干预导致数千人受伤,176人死亡。使用Mbongeni Ngema的Sarafina!:在《解放之声》(1987)中,这篇报道对种族隔离后经常被浪漫化的描述提出了质疑,即将艺术作为对抗种族隔离的工具。它探讨了两个相互关联的主题。首先,它询问了1976年学生抗议活动的记忆是如何通过表演在空间和时间上被塑造、保存、记忆和传播的,因为这场演出从种族隔离的南非到美国巡回演出1968年,联合国批准对南非实施学术、文化和体育抵制,呼吁全面禁止所有此类活动。仔细阅读这次旅行,可以细致入微地了解全面反种族隔离文化抵制运动以及将艺术作为斗争武器的复杂且有时矛盾的动态。

The missing language of freedom: code-switching in Yaël Farber’s Mies Julie (2012) 缺失的自由语言:Yaël Farber的Mies Julie(2012)中的代码转换

In 2013, Yaël Farber’s adapted August Strindberg’s naturalistic drama Miss Julie into a contemporary play, set in South Africa’s Cape Karoo semi-desert. Farber maintains in her version the various concerns the original play addresses, including class and gender, however by transporting the play to post-Apartheid South Africa, questions pertaining race and identity are reflected upon in a socio-political context. Farber negotiates these issues primarily through the use of language, utilizing code-switching throughout her contemporary parable. Farber uses code-switching as a means to reflect the despair of a nation, the search for a unified identity and the desire for intimacy of the characters. Achille Mbembe argues that South Africa has a crisis in language, however this paper argues that this alleged crisis, the continuous use of multiple languages is precisely the language of post-Apartheid South Africa. A language, which reflects the liminal state of the nation, the cultural variety of the country as well as the continuous search for a unified identity.
2013年,耶尔·法伯(Yaël Farber)将奥古斯特·斯特林伯格(August Strindberg)的自然主义戏剧《朱莉小姐》(Miss Julie)改编成了一部当代戏剧,故事发生在南非的卡鲁角半沙漠。法伯在她的版本中坚持了原剧所涉及的各种问题,包括阶级和性别,然而,通过将该剧转移到后种族隔离的南非,与种族和身份有关的问题在社会政治背景下得到了反映。法伯主要通过语言的使用来解决这些问题,在她的当代寓言中使用了代码转换。法伯使用代码转换作为一种手段来反映一个国家的绝望、对统一身份的追求以及人物对亲密关系的渴望。Achille Mbembe认为南非存在语言危机,但本文认为,这种所谓的危机,多种语言的持续使用正是后种族隔离南非的语言。一种语言,它反映了国家的极限状态、国家的文化多样性以及对统一身份的不断追求。

In South Africa, the popularity and rapid expansion of festivals are resulting in festivals competing for revenue and visitors’ leisure time. Many Afrikaans arts festivals in SA are experiencing declines in ticket sales and/or visitor numbers, thereby threatening the sustainability of this attendee market. However, another concern is the ageing of this attendee market. Festival organizers/marketers should therefore not only have a good understanding of the needs and preferences of their attendee market; but they should also ensure that their future markets (namely younger generations) are secured. It is evident that exposing children to the arts increases their love for and likelihood to support the arts in adulthood. It is therefore vital to ensure that the key factors contributing to children's theatre ticket purchases at South African Afrikaans arts festivals are determined. Although children's theatre is incorporated into these festivals’ programmes, attendance is often poor. The aim of this study is therefore to determine the key factors that contribute to children's theatre ticket purchases at Afrikaans arts festivals in South Africa. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed at the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK), Vryfees National Arts Festival, and the Aardklop National Arts Festival among the parents attending children's theatre productions with their child/ren. The research is exploratory in nature, whereby an exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the aspects contributing to the purchasing of these tickets, followed by ANOVAs for more in-depth analysis of the factors. Five factors, namely Parent–Child Activity, Production Credentials, Supporting the Arts, Value and Marketing and Media were identified. The results will help festival organizers develop strategies to attract more children and increase children's theatre ticket sales at arts festivals; thereby better securing this future market and ultimately the sustainability of arts festivals in South Africa.
在南非,节日的流行和快速扩张导致节日争夺收入和游客的休闲时间。南非的许多南非荷兰语艺术节的门票销售和/或游客数量都在下降,从而威胁到观众市场的可持续性。然而,另一个令人担忧的问题是这个与会者市场的老龄化。因此,节日组织者/营销人员不仅应该很好地了解参与者市场的需求和偏好;但他们也应该确保他们未来的市场(即年轻一代)得到保障。很明显,让孩子们接触艺术会增加他们成年后对艺术的热爱和支持的可能性。因此,至关重要的是要确保确定促成南非南非荷兰语艺术节儿童剧院门票购买的关键因素。尽管儿童戏剧被纳入这些节日的节目中,但上座率往往很低。因此,本研究的目的是确定影响南非南非荷兰语艺术节儿童剧院门票购买的关键因素。在克莱因卡鲁国家艺术节(KKNK)、Vryfees国家艺术节和Aardklop国家艺术节上,向与孩子一起参加儿童戏剧制作的家长分发了自我管理问卷。这项研究本质上是探索性的,对购买这些门票的因素进行了探索性因素分析,然后进行方差分析,对因素进行更深入的分析。确定了五个因素,即亲子活动、制作证书、支持艺术、价值和营销以及媒体。研究结果将有助于艺术节组织者制定吸引更多儿童的策略,并增加艺术节儿童剧院门票的销售;从而更好地确保这个未来市场,并最终确保南非艺术节的可持续性。
