CUL312: Performing Culture/Culture, Performance and Audience

This unit investigates a number of sites of cultural performance, social spaces where culture is being performed or is performative. It aims to give an introduction to performance theory both as developed for 'formal' performance and for the performance of everyday life. Recently, cultural practices such as gender, tourism and leadership have all been analysed as performative. This unit will investigate performativity as a theoretical model in cultural studies in general.
