Please post your response to the lecture for June 15th to this thread.
Thank you.
Some questions to think about:
In today's lecture, Professor Pellegrini referring to a quote by Prof. Schechner remarked, "Performance is never for the first time." How do you read this statement in relationship with psychoanalytic theory? How can we apply a psychoanalytic optics to the Vogel piece and to Prof. Pellegrini's analysis? Is trauma a form of performance? Think about Schechner's work in relationship with the piece we read by Schneider. How do you perceive performance studies has evolved as a field?

Post Your Response to the June 14th - Nyong'o/Linzy Lecture Here
Please post your response to the lecture for June 14th to this thread.
Thank you.
You do not have to respond to these questions in your paper, but think about:
How is Professor Nyong'o's work illustrating examples of historical performance? What is the function of Peter Sewally as both historical figure and performative archetype? Can you bridge the work we read with the performances we saw by Kalup Linzy? How is Linzy's work historical?
Thank you.

Post Your Response to the June 13th - J.L. Austin/Piper Lecture Here
Please post your response to the lecture for June 13th to this thread. The reading for this day was "Austin, J.L. How To Do Things With Words."
Thank you.
You do not have to respond to these questions in your paper, but think about:
As you write your essay, think about Austin's definition of the "performative" alongside his various categories for how speech works in daily life. Think also about Piper's piece, "Cornered," and how that work is or is not an example of a speech act. Has her speech act been successful? Has it failed? Consider the place of Austin in Performance Studies as you attend lectures this week.
After our discussion of Piper, I came across this article today in the NY Times. Check it out, if you get a chance.
Thank you.
