Political scientists and political theorists have long been
interested in social and political performance. Theatre and
performance researchers have often focused on the political
dimensions of the live arts. Yet the interdisciplinary nature of
this labor has typically been assumed rather than rigorously
explored. Further, it is crucial to bring the concepts of theatre
and performance deployed by other disciplines such as psychology,
law, political anthropology, sociology among others into a wider,
as well as deeper, interdisciplinary engagement. Embodying and
fostering that engagement is at the heart of this new handbook. The
Handbook brings together leading scholars in the fields of Politics
and Performance to map out the evolving interdisciplinary
engagement. The authors-drawn from a wide range of
disciplines-investigate the relationship between politics and
performance to show that certain features of political transactions
shared by performances are fundamental to both disciplines, and
that they also share, to a large extent, a common communicational
base and language. The volume is organized into seven thematic
sections: the interdisciplinary theory of politics and performance;
performativity and theatricality (protest, regulation, resistance,
change, authority); identities (race, gender, sexuality, class,
citizenship, indigeneity); sites (states, borders, markets, law,
religion); scripts (accountability, authority and legitimacy,
security, ceremony, sustainability); body, voice, and gesture
(representation, leadership, participation, rhetoric, disruption);
and affect (media, care, love empathy, comedy, populism, memory).
