This innovative volume compels readers to re-think the notions of
performance, performing, and (non)performativity in the context of
the COVID-19 global pandemic. Given these multi-faceted ways of
thinking about “performance” and its complicated manifestations
throughout the pandemic, this volume is organised into umbrella
topics that focus on three of the most important aspects of
identity for cultural and intercultural studies in this historical
moment: language; race/gender/sexuality; and the digital world. In
critically re-thinking the meaning of “performance” in the era
of COVID-19, contributors first explore how language is differently
staged in the context of the global pandemic, compelling us to
normalise an entirely new verbal lexicon. Second, they survey the
pandemic’s disturbing impact on socio-political identities rooted
in race, class, gender, and sexuality. Third, contributors examine
how the digital milieu compels us to reorient the inside/outside
binary with respect to multilingual subjects, those living with
disability, those delivering staged performances, and even
corresponding audiences. Together, these diverse voices constitute
a powerful chorus that rigorously excavates the hidden impacts of
the global pandemic on how we have changed the ways in which we
perform identity throughout a viral crisis. This volume is thus a
timely asset for all readers interested in identity studies,
performance studies, digital and technology studies, language
studies, global studies, and COVID-19 studies. It was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural
Studies.
