DANC 142 SC - Feminist Ethnography and Performance
This course explores transnational feminist epistemologies alongside performance studies research methods. It investigates the impact of a feminist approach to ethnography in performance studies and the opportunities afforded by performance making and analysis to a feminist ethnographic practice. Texts exemplifying feminist ethnographic methods in dance and performance studies explore intercontinental connections through media, geography, and collective aesthetic and political impulses. The course focuses on feminist research concerns and methodologies of women of color. Additionally, through case studies we approach topics addressed by feminist artists in their work (blackness, passing, environmental concerns, sexual violence, lesbian and trans identity, immigration, disability, among others). Students will train in feminist theory and methods in critical performance ethnography and engage in thoughtful performance making and criticism.
Prerequisite(s): First-year students by permission of instructor only.
