Exhalations Performance Crisis.Completion monograph

项目摘要

This application is for research leave to complete a monograph called 'Exhalations: performance and crisis'. The research on which the monograph is based asks how performance scholars research and practise in situations of crisis, and how they subsequently communicate the findings from these encounters. It questions a diverse set of performance moments, moving from the small (analyses of grief) to the broad (Rwandan genocide memorials). Each example aims to place performance analysis at the heart of contemporary investigations of crisis to discover forms of resistance that are embodied and practised. Performance projects in situations of crisis are often explained using the discourses emerging from trauma, storytelling and testimony studies. 'Exhalations' seeks to challenge these frameworks and renegotiate the privileged place of storytelling in performance projects in crisis zones. It will question disciplines on which these categories are based and argue instead for a more culturally and historically sensitive analysis.Exhalation is the term used to describe the silences, stutters and word-struggles that are exhibited as a researcher/practitioner meets the critically challenging. It is also used to signify the place between speaking and silence in the community or person facing crisis. Exhalations are thus the marks of undoneness: when discourse starts not as words but as an affective shudder in the body. They are validated in this research as the central methodological approach. The claim is that in writing the shock, theoretical insights and learning are displayed and hopefully shared. The method seeks to base the research and subsequent writing at the moment of the researcher's struggle to speak - at the moment of research crisis - as this mirrors the performances of crisis that are the core subject of the book.The chapter structure will be deliberately episodic with each section developing the argument but also shifting ground and focus. Each is prefaced by an 'exhalation' - a research or practice-based encounter that is in itself the crisis that prompts the analysis.This monograph expands upon research completed during the AHRC funded In Place of War (IPOW) project. IPOW continues at time of writing and in its final year (2007) we will complete an edited book called 'Performance: In Place of War'. This will be edited by Michael Balfour, Jenny Hughes and myself and be submitted to Seagull Press at the end of my institutional leave period (December 2007 - coinciding with the end of the project). Securing the research leave beyond the end of the project allows for this additional publication to be completed. This will be my second monograph connected to IPOW (the first being 'Digging Up Stories: Applied Theatre, Performance and War', Manchester University Press). The new research and the subsequent monograph thus shares concerns of IPOW and will be questioning the place of performance in sites of conflict, but it is extending these debates into performance in situations of crisis (not just armed conflict). In addition, it is seeking to make a contribution to debates within performance studies about how to write performance. It argues that questions about writing performance are revealed in a particularly acute way when considering performance in moments of crisis. 'Exhalations' thus develops the theoretical themes emerging from 'In Place of War' and then extends them into broader themes of writing performance and the problematics of representing pain and suffering.

该申请是为了完成一本名为“呼气：表现和危机”的专着。专着基于的研究询问了在危机情况下如何在危机情况下进行绩效学者的研究和实践，以及他们如何从这些相遇中传达发现。它质疑一系列各种各样的表演时刻，从小的（悲伤的分析）转变为广泛的（卢旺达种族灭绝纪念物）。每个例子旨在将绩效分析放置在当代研究危机的核心，以发现被体现和实践的抵抗形式。经常使用创伤，讲故事和证词研究中出现的话语来解释危机情况下的绩效项目。 “呼气”旨在挑战这些框架，并重新谈判在危机区域绩效项目中讲故事的特权地点。它将质疑这些类别是基于这些类别的学科，而是为更文化和历史敏感的分析而争论。它也用于表示社区或面临危机的人的讲话与沉默之间的位置。因此，呼气是无关的标志：当话语不是作为单词开始的，而是作为体内的情感颤抖。在这项研究中，它们被证实为中心方法论方法。声称在写下震惊时，展示并希望共享理论见解和学习。该方法旨在基于研究人员在研究危机时努力讲话时进行研究和随后的写作，因为这反映了危机的表现，这是本书的核心主题。本章结构将在每个部分中有意发表论证，但也会逐步发展论点，但也改变了地面和专注。每个人都有“呼气”的限制 - 一种基于研究或实践的遭遇，本身就是危机，促使分析。本专着扩展了在AHRC在AHRC中完成的研究（IPOW）项目中完成的研究。 IPOW在写作时继续进行，在其最后一年（2007年），我们将完成一本名为“表演：战争”的编辑。这将由迈克尔·巴尔弗（Michael Balfour），珍妮·休斯（Jenny Hughes）和我本人编辑，并在我的机构假期结束时（2007年12月 - 与项目结束时）提交给Seagull Press。将研究假期确保超出项目的尽头，可以完成此额外的出版物。这将是我与ipow相连的第二篇专着（第一个是“挖掘故事：应用剧院，表演和战争”，曼彻斯特大学出版社）。因此，新的研究和随后的专着分享了IPOW的关注，并将质疑冲突场所的绩效地位，但它将这些辩论扩展到危机情况（不仅仅是武装冲突）。此外，它正在寻求为有关如何编写绩效的绩效研究中的辩论做出贡献。它认为，在考虑危机时刻的表现时，有关写作表现的问题是以一种特别急性的方式揭示的。因此，“呼气”发展了从“战争代替”中出现的理论主题，然后将其扩展到更广泛的写作表现和代表痛苦和痛苦的问题。
