This book examines the enactment of gendered in/equalities across
diverse Cultural forms, turning to the insights produced through
the specific modes of onto-epistemological enquiry of embodied
performance. It builds on work from the GRACE (Gender and Cultures
of Equality in Europe) project and offers both theoretical and
methodological analyses of an array of activities and artworks. The
performative manifestations discussed include theatre,
installations, social movements, mega-events, documentaries, and
literary texts from multiple geopolitical locales. Engaging with
the key concepts of re-enactment and relationality, the
contributions explore the ways in which in/equalities are
relationally re-produced in and through individual and collective
bodies. This multi- and trans-disciplinary collection of essays
creates fruitful dialogues within and beyond Performance Studies,
sitting at the crossroads of ethnography, event studies, social
movements, visual studies, critical discourse analysis, and
contemporary approaches to textualities emerging from post-colonial
and feminist studies.
This volume evaluates the vitality of the term 'Afropolitan' within
the fields of African and Afro-diasporic studies. A hotly debated
and malleable term, its wide circulation has allowed for
Afropolitanism to become a contested space for critical inquiry.
The contributions to this book are representative of the lively
discussions that Afropolitan aesthetics, identity politics and
Afro(cosmo)politanisms have sparked in recent years. The book aims
to continue the debates around these concepts foregrounded by
earlier works in the fields of postcolonial literature, African
cultural studies, and studies of diaspora and transnationalism.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
European Journal of English Studies.
