ABSTRACT Public performances have been studied as acts of social protest that contest social or gender norms or collective memories of state violence. When public protests were prohibited after the 2010 violent crackdown in Thailand, Thai protesters staged other forms of public performances. What unfolded were adaptive street performances by innovative assemblages that forged new ways to resist when interacting with existing limitations and state suppression. This essay engages Deleuze and Guattari’s approach in examining public performances as assemblages. I argue that the multiplicities of public performances challenged the official narrative of the 2010 Crackdown and served as a demand for accountability and justice.

ABSTRACT This essay utilizes the mythology of Echo, along with the phenomenon of echoes, as a lens for examining past experience and performance. Placing readings of three mythological accounts of Echo alongside autoethnographic reflections complicates understandings of both the myth and experience, while an examination of the phenomenon of echoes suggests an already present way of understanding that can be utilized and nuanced. The examination of experience serves as an application that suggests how the multivalent nature of echoes may be used to approach other performances as artifacts that hold heuristic value in the gaps of their meaning.

ABSTRACT This paper analyses how borders are negotiated in Lola Arias’ Minefield/Campo Minado (2016). Arias’ representation of the war experiences and traumatic memories of six veterans, three from each side of the Malvinas/Falklands war, suggests an effort to reframe fixed categorizations around the conflict and cross temporal, spatial and aesthetic borders. We will study the articulation of these borders as devices for verbalizing the continuities and discontinuities between “fact” and “fiction” and “self” and “other” in an attempt to assess how the play constructively manages the anxiety arising from the urge to tell and the need to forget experienced by war veterans.

ABSTRACT This article is based on ethnography of a performance-narration of the Jambavantaru Puranam, the etiological tale of the Madiga community in Telangana, south India. The piece focuses on changes in the technologies of production and conditions of reception of the Jambavantaru Puranam. By documenting contemporary ways of telling and internalizing folk narratives, this article contextualizes these changes within the way performers are able to interpret their location within the contemporary, and the way the audience-community are able to move between a local and historical identity of being Madiga and a larger and political identity of being Dalit.

ABSTRACT In continued conversation about the exploration of adaptation and its current state, this essay recounts the genealogical experience of reperforming and sharing scripts as a way to sustain new programs by connecting them through these recycled scripts.

Soile Ylivuori
ABSTRACT This essay compares Judith Butler’s and Erving Goffman’s theoretical contributions to performance and performativity with the goal of bridging their approaches, usually seen as mutually incompatible. Using eighteenth-century women’s politeness as a case study, it argues that politeness is a practice that is essentially both performed and performative; analysing it as such offers us valuable new information on eighteenth-century subjectivities. The essay suggests that combining performance and performativity can be used to reconceptualize agency and find a way out of the Butlerian impasse of the impossibility of resistance. Performance thus has the potential to confound the paralyzing non-agency of performativity.

ABSTRACT This article situates the adaptation of literature for the stage as a collaborative artistic practice and critical research methodology. We describe our experience of co-writing a play based on Christy Lefteri’s award-winning novel The Beekeeper of Aleppo (2019). As playwrights based in London and California, respectively, with life experiences rooted in Syria, the United Kingdom, and the United States, our collaborative process pushes against the borders of geography and our own identities. We share a belief in the power of theater for social change, and a desire to make visible the effects of inhumane immigration systems on refugees and asylum-seekers.

ABSTRACT I begin with an evocation of my experience of community as-if climbing aboard a life raft of sorts during our 2019 “Adaptation” panel presentations at NCA. Then I explore how the concept and practice of adaptation has served me well, in multiple contexts, as I navigate what Simmons and Brisini call the “archipelagos” of discourse and practices that have formed the “transdisciplinary” (2) grounds of performance studies in/as communication.
