This book offers a unique Australian perspective on the global
crisis in refugee protection. Using performance as both an object
and a lens, this volume explores the politics and aesthetics of
migration control, border security and refugee resistance. The
first half of the book, titled On Stage, examines performance
objects such as verbatim and documentary plays, children's theatre,
immersive performance, slam poetry, video art and feature films.
Specifically, it considers how refugees, and their artistic
collaborators, assert their individuality, agency and authority as
well as their resistance to cruel policies like offshore processing
through performance. The second half of the book, titled Off Stage,
employs performance as a lens to analyse the wider field of refugee
politics, including the relationship between forced migrants and
the forced displacement of First Nations peoples that underpins the
settler-colonial state, philosophies of cosmopolitanism, the role
of the canon in art history and the spectacle of bordering
practices. In doing so, it illuminates the strategic
performativity-and nonperformativity-of the law, philosophy, the
state and the academy more broadly in the exclusion and control of
refugees. Taken together, the chapters in this volume draw on, and
contribute to, a wide range of disciplines including theatre and
performance studies, cultural studies, border studies and forced
migration studies, and will be of great interest to students and
scholars in all four fields.
