CORE 002 SC - Performances of Identity
Music, dance, and other performative acts play important roles in the representation, transformation, and (re)-creation of identities. This course examines the creation of national and institutional identities through public displays of culture and investigates ways in which various ethnic, racial, and gender groups negotiate identities through the performing arts. We will draw examples from the nineteenth century to the present and work with cultural forms ranging from songs and poetry to films, plays, and spectacles. In doing so, we will consider how historical performances of collective identity inform our understanding of present-day performances and how such cultural performances are, in the end, political acts.
Instructor: Y. Kang
