ENGC 7096 - Theories of Drama, Performance, and Performativity

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Virtually every culture has produced a body of drama and with it, evolving bodies of theory that speculate about such things as what drama does and doesn't show, how a culture represents itself to its audience, what are the relationships between performance, illusion, and sympathy. Some theories focus on the theater as an institution while others focus on the nature of performance in constituting the individual self; some theory thinks about the cultural work that drama does. This course will focus on and explore a problem or topic from the vast body of theory about drama, performance, and performativity.
