This book is a manifesto. It is about rethinking performance
autoethnography, about the formation of a critical performative
cultural politics, about what happens when everything is already
performative, when the dividing line between performativity and
performance disappears. This is a book about the writing called
autoethnography. It is also about what this form of writing means
for writers who want to perform work that leads to social justice.
Denzin's goal is to take the reader through the history, major
terms, forms, criticisms and issues confronting performance
autoethnography and critical interpretive. To that end many of the
chapters are written as performance texts, as ethnodramas. A single
thesis organizes this book: the performance turn has been taken in
the human disciplines and it must be taken seriously. Multiple
informative performance models are discussed: Goffman's dramaturgy;
Turner's performance anthropology; performance ethnographies by A.
D. Smith, Conquergood, and Madison; Saldana's ethnodramas;
Schechter's social theatre; Norris's playacting; Boal's theatre of
the oppressed; and Freire's pedagogies of the oppressed. They
represent different ways of staging and hence performing
ethnography, resistance and critical pedagogy. They represent
different ways of "imagining, and inventing and hence performing
alternative imaginaries, alternative counter-performances to war,
violence, and the globalized corporate empire" (Schechner 2015).
This book provides a systematic treatment of the origins, goals,
concepts, genres, methods, aesthetics, ethics and truth conditions
of critical performance autoethnography. Denzin uses the
performance text as a vehicle for taking up the hard questions
about reading, writing, performing and doing critical work that
makes a difference.
