Reenactment Case Studies: Global Perspectives on Experiential
History examines reenactment's challenge to traditional modes of
understanding the past, asking how experience-based historical
knowledge-making relates to memory-making and politics. Reenactment
is a global phenomenon that ncompasses living history, historical
reality television, performance art, theater, historically-informed
music performance, experimental archeology, pilgrimage, battle
reenactment, live-action role play, and other forms. These share a
concern with simulating the past via authenticity, embodiment,
affect, the performative and subjective. As such, reenactment
constitutes a global form of popular historical knowledge-making,
representation, and commemoration. Yet, in terms of its historical
subject matter, styles, and subcultures, reenactment is often
nationally or locally inflected. he book thus asks how domestic
reenactment practices relate to global ones, as well as to the
spread of new populisms, and postcolonial and decolonizing
movements. he book is the first to address these questions through
reenactment case studies drawn from various world regions. Forming
a companion volume to the Reenactment Studies Handbook: Key Terms
in the Field (2020), Reenactment Case Studies s aimed at a wide
academic readership, especially in the fields of istory, film
studies, memory studies, performance studies, museum and heritage
studies, cultural and literary studies, and anthropology.
