The crafts of governance and diplomacy are spectacular, theatrical,
and performative. Performing Statecraft investigates the
performances of states, their leaders, and their citizens on an
expanded field of the global arts of statecraft to consider the
role of performance in the domestic and international affairs of
states, and the interventions into global politics by artists,
scholars, and activists. Treating theatre as both an art form and a
practice of political actors, this book draws together scholarship
on the embodied dimensions of governance, the stagecraft of
revolution, arts activism on the world stage, sports performance by
heads of state, the performativity of national dress, speechmaking
and colonialism, war and medicine, singing diplomats, indigenous
sovereignties, and performed nationalisms. It brings the
perspective and methods of performance studies to bear on global
politics, offering exciting new insights into encounters between
states, sovereigns, and people. Whether one is watching a campaign
speech, a nightly news broadcast, a sacred dance, or a play about
global conflict, these chapters make clear the importance of
performance as a tool wielded by amateurs and professionals to
articulate the nation in global spaces.
