摘要

这是我作为《戏剧与表演研究》新编辑的第一篇社论。我很高兴能在一个关键时刻加入这个团队,以重新塑造戏剧和表演研究的优先事项,以配合或响应紧迫的全球文化、经济和社会政治变化。戏剧和表演研究一直鼓励戏剧和表演研究中的各种声音和观点,我也致力于在我们继续教学,研究和生活的不确定时期,通过对该学科过去,现在和未来形态的自我反思和全领域反思来保持和扩大这一点。本期收集的六篇文章提供了一系列将表演作为一种社会实践的方法,探索了阈限和转化。作者详细阐述了通过表演产生的快乐、迷人、悲伤和哀悼的时刻,分析了从日常生活的欢乐和矛盾中产生的戏剧和表演。与之相匹配的是,这些文章植根于当下的材料,它们还与不断变化的历史叙事、对祖先过去的崇敬、现实与虚无之间转换空间的开放、以及表演对理性的本体论暂停联系在一起。每一部作品都触及了短暂性的政治,触及了童年、为人父母、疾病、死亡等生命周期,每一次都回归到生命、生存的意志,以及演绎生命复杂性的可能性。Gloria Nwandu Ozor、Ciarunji Chesaina和Masumi Odari的文章聚焦于Umulumgbe社群(尼日利亚伊博族东南次部落)的Odo假面舞会仪式,表示祖先回归生者世界,以及演员模仿死者的方式。作者根据管理和促进正义的人与执行法律、促进和平和阻止身体冲突的人之间的分工来描述Odo的工作。最后,虽然Odo假面舞会的重点是正义、和平和解决冲突,在这里作为一出具有公民功能的社会戏剧进行分析,但作者也强调Odo是一种死亡仪式,死者与生者团聚,从精神到肉体的过渡。大卫·欧芬德和奥利弗·希思的文章延续了分裂、团结、解决冲突和社区的主题,重点介绍了2017年在国家剧院演出的《多数派》。为了回应2016年英国脱欧公投,观众对投票技术的使用是该剧结构中不可或缺的一部分。要求观众对一系列从看似平凡到道德复杂的命题投“是”或“否”票,这篇文章关注的是表演对观众参与的利用——“迷你公投”的表演——并分析了产生的数据。作者对大多数人的讨论侧重于投票的“社会表演”,以及它与个人和集体声音行使的联系。2,133 - 135 https://doi.org/10.1080/14682761.2021.1916280

41.2 Editorial
This is my first editorial as a new editor for Studies in Theatre and Performance. I am grateful to be joining this team at a key moment in re-shaping the priorities of theatre and performance studies in line with or in response to urgent global cultural, economic, and socio-political shifts. Studies in Theatre and Performance has always encouraged a variety of voices and perspectives in theatre and performance studies, and I, too, am committed to maintaining and expanding that through self-reflexive and field-wide reflections on the past, present, and future shape of the discipline as we continue to teach, research, and live through a period of uncertainty. The six articles collected in this issue offer a range of approaches to performance as a social practice that explores the liminal and the transformational. The authors elaborate on moments of pleasure, enchantment, grief, and mourning drawn out by and through performance, offering analyses of plays and performances emerging from navigating the joys and contradictions of everyday life. Matched by their rootedness in the material present, the articles also make connections to shifting historical narratives, reverence to ancestral pasts, the opening up of transformational spaces between the real and the ethereal, and performance’s ontological suspension of the rational. Each touches on the politics of temporality, on cycles of living from childhood, parenthood, illness, death, and beyond, each time returning to the will to life, to survival, and the possibilities in performance of staging life’s intricacies. Gloria Nwandu Ozor, Ciarunji Chesaina, and Masumi Odari’s article focuses on the Odo masquerade ritual of the Umulumgbe – a community in the South Eastern subtribe of the Igbo of Nigeria – representing the return of ancestors to the world of the living and the means through which actors represent the dead through imitation. The authors characterise the work of the Odo according to the division of labour, between those who administer and promote justice, and those who enforce laws, promote peace, and discourage physical conflict. Ultimately, though the focus of the Odo masquerade is on justice, peace, and conflict-resolution, analysed here as a social drama with a civic function, the authors also emphasise the Odo as a death ritual, whereby the dead are reunited with the living, transitioning from the spiritual to the physical. The themes of division, unity, conflict resolution, and community are continued in David Overend and Oliver Heath’s article, which focuses on The Majority, performed at the National Theatre in 2017.
