Writing Performance, Identity, and Everyday Life invites the reader
into Ronald J. Pelias' world of artistic and everyday performance.
Calling upon a broad range of qualitative methods, these selected
writings from Pelias submerge themselves in the evocative and
embodied, in the material and consequential, often creating moving
accounts of their topics. The book is divided into four sections:
Foundational Logics, Performance, Identity, and Everyday Life. Part
I addresses the methodological underpinnings of the book, focusing
on the 'touchstones' that inform Pelias' work: performative,
autoethnographic, poetic, and narrative methods. These directions
push the researcher toward empathic engagement, a leaning toward
others; using the literary to evoke the cognitive and affective
aspects of experience; and an ethical sensibility located in social
justice. Parts II-IV focus on artistic and everyday life
performances, including discussions of the disciplinary shift from
the oral interpretation of literature to the field of performance
studies; empathy and the actor's process; conceptions of
performance; the performance of race, gender, and sexuality; and
performances in interpersonal relations and academic circles. By
the end, readers will see Pelias demonstrate the power of
qualitative methods to engage and to present alternative ways of
being. Pelias' work shows us how to understand and feel the
evocative strength of thinking performatively.
