PERF-UT 306 Race and Performance

This semester, the course will consider various forms of performance (including performance art, visual art, sound art, literature, politics, and performance of everyday life) by artists of color to think about belonging and alternative forms of world-making. This course will ask: what difference might it make to think of race as performative? How might the analytic of performance equip us in this course to identify and enact anti-xenophobic strategies for everyday practice? We will explore these questions through engagement with cultural texts, including scholarship in critical ethnic studies, queer of color critique, and affect studies.
