COM 301 - PERFORMANCE AND CULTURE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Communication Studies

Description:

This course is an introduction to the field of performance studies. In this course, solo performance will be broadly construed to include aesthetic performance (performance art, theater, music, dance, and visual culture) and everyday presentations of self. We will study the history of the field and its relation to other fields (anthropology, theatre studies, philosophy, dance studies, feminism, political science, critical race theory, legal studies, etc.) and ask questions of how the study of performance can help us to understand contemporary questions of aesthetics, politics, and social culture. This course will place particular emphasis on political performance (in the US and abroad), queer, and minority performance.
