This volume brings together important work at the intersection of
politics and performance studies. While the languages of theatre
and performance have long been deployed by other disciplines, these
are seldom deployed seriously and pursued systematically to
discover the actual nature of the relationship between performance
as a set of behavioural practices and the forms and the
transactions of these other disciplines. This book investigates the
structural similarities and features of politics and performance,
which are referred to here as 'grammar', a concept which also
emphasizes the common communicational base or language of these
fields. In each of the chapters included in this collection, key
processes of both politics and performance are identified and
analyzed, demonstrating the critical and indivisible links between
the fields. The book also underlines that neither politics nor
performance can take place without actors who perform and
spectators who receive, evaluate and react to these actions. At the
heart of the project is the ambition to bring about a paradigm
change, such that politics cannot be analyzed seriously without a
sophisticated understanding of its performance. All the chapters
here display a concrete set of events, practices, and contexts
within which politics and performance are inseparable elements.
This work will be of great interest to students and scholars in
both International Relations and Performance Studies.
