▼ The Performative Corpse: Anatomy Theatres from the Medieval Era to the Virtual Age examines the various ways in which the human corpse has been displayed, dissected, and consumed by and for a public audience. To date, performative moments of human dissection have received little scholarly attention beyond work done on the anatomical theatres of the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, in which criminal or unclaimed bodies were dissected for the edification of the academic community and the general public. Traditionally, the events of the anatomical theatre have been framed in Foucaudian terms: developing a hierarchical relationship of power between medico-judicial authority and the dissected body, which is objectified and commoditized. While this dissertation does not take issue with this line of analysis, it aims to open up other dimensions of the anatomy theatre by broadening its scope. It argues that, when placed in a privileged position on a theatrical stage, the dissected body becomes a "performative corpse." In this theatrical space of transubstantiation, confronting death always turns into constructing death; in its dismemberment, the performative corpse reveals the ways in which Western societies, in moments of ontological crisis, have fictionalized death to avoid its dreaded unknowability. This dissertation interrogates several historical moments of public, performative human dissection, including medieval displays of saintly relics and incorruptible bodies (Chapter 1), the sacrificial rites of the early modern anatomical theatres and their relationship to the drama of the period (Chapter 2), a seventeenth century farce condemning the growing lust of the era's anatomists (Chapter 3), nineteenth century monstrous bodies displayed and dissected to validate normal human bodies (Chapter 4), and, finally, twenty-first century exhibitions of plastinated corpses and the public autopsies of Gunther von Hagens (Chapter 5). This dissertation argues that an audience's encounter with the opened corpse always poses a particular threat to the integrity of both psychic and somatic boundaries – an aspect of the anatomical ritual that medico-scientific discourse seeks to repress. In these moments of social crisis, the anatomical theatre plays a critical role in conceptualizing, and immortalizing, the nature of death for a given community.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.

Cải lương, or "reformed theatre", came into being at the turn of the twentieth century when Vietnamese people and customs encountered aspects of Western culture introduced by the French. Among Cải lương's defining characteristics is its openness to many sources, its constant changing appearance and scope, and its diverse interpretation and employment in different eras and places, making its' identity as an artistic form easily identifiable and yet hard to pin down historically. This dissertation begins to tease apart the complex layers of cải lương, and presents a comprehensive overview of the artistic and historical development of cải lương as a theatrical form, with special consideration of the spoken narratives of cải lương performers interviewed. The birth and development of cải lương has always been tightly linked to the many historical changes of Vietnam. Therefore, the Vietnamese history under focus in relationship cải lương is divided into three main periods: 1) the French presence in Vietnam at the start of the early twentieth century (1900-1945); 2) the First Indochina War until the introduction of the open door policy called đối mới (1945-1986); and 3) the post U.S.-Vietnam War era until the early twenty-first century (2000-2010). In doing so, I investigate how historical changes over these periods in Vietnam have influenced the production, performance, and reception of this unique aesthetic form. As equally important is how the lives of those who have been involved in cải lương have been affected. These personal narratives gathered are then used to analyze and interpret the challenges that cải lương is confronted with today. Through the eyes of a small group of highly respected cải lương performers my goal is to better understand the history of cải lương, shed some light on the state of the theatrical form today and to further understand this rich element of Vietnamese culture.

▼ This Dissertation explores the interaction of performance and warfare in the framework of colonial and post-colonial times. The issues in question unfold in relationship with political history, but are in fact bound by Ugandan playwriting, theatre, and performance practices, with a focus on 1962-2010. Although a number of dramatists draw from the colonial encounter for present day cultural expression, syncretism is at the heart of self-definition in post-colonial Ugandan society. The thesis examines the works of a range of home-bred, as well as Diaspora Ugandan dramatists such as Sam Okello, Kenneth Kimuli, Okot p’Bitek, Byron Kawadwa, John Ruganda, George Seremba, Rose Mbowa, Alex Mukulu, and Ntare Mwine to argue that since Independence from British rule, Uganda has been hostage to a legacy of war – a post-colonial nation spiraling in a state of ruthless power contestations, with violence of various degrees. Inevitably, the history informs many of the plays and the plays become a part of the history. The dramatic works studied embody the hard realities as well as subjunctive version of post-colonial Ugandan cultural and political aspirations. Theoretical projects of African as well as European/Western thinking inform the story, but ultimately it focuses on Ugandan society: 1962-2010. The narrative and analysis of content found in this dissertation represents my rendezvous with Ugandan performance vis a vis the legacy of war. The narrative will explore how performance articulates war and warfare engages with performance on a historical, political and cultural scale. The “emic” and “etic” strands of thought guide the analysis; the former refers to insider and the latter outsider information/response/action/ reaction. Most of the plays are “emic” and a fair amount of the theory is “etic.” Each chapter represents a different time-frame in Ugandan political history, in terms of (the ever shifting) paradigms of playwriting, theatre, and performance.

▼ This dissertation explores the construction of identity and difference through racial impersonation in Philadelphia’s theatre and performance history. Each chapter expands outward from a local focus on Philadelphia toward historical and formal connections with practices of racial impersonation in other parts of the Atlantic world, illuminating the close and under-recognized relationship between oriental impersonation and blackface masking. As such, this project contributes not only to scholarship on blackface minstrelsy but also to an emerging critique of “the Atlantic” as an historical model—a critique that acknowledges cultural and economic relations beyond the shores of Europe, the Americas, and West Africa as immanent to intra-Atlantic constructions of race. Through dramatic texts, playbills, newspapers, and graphic art—as well as through makeup styles, costume pieces, dance steps, and popular songs—“From the Meschianza to the Mummers Parade” situates Philadelphia’s history of racial impersonation within geographies and genealogies of performance that extend far beyond the city of brotherly love. Chapter 1 reconstructs the performances of oriental impersonation staged at the Meschianza, a lavish fete hosted by the British army during the Revolutionary War and later parodied in blackface on the streets of Philadelphia. Chapters 1 and 2 analyze the overlapping practices of oriental and blackface impersonation in Philadelphia’s eighteenth- and nineteenth-century dramatic repertoire, focusing on plays by Susanna Rowson, Isaac Bickerstaffe, and T.D. Rice. Chapters 2 and 3 argue that caricatures of oriental, African American, and working-class white subjects by Philadelphia graphic artists E.W. Clay and D.C. Johnston contributed to the production of blackface stage characters like Long Tail Blue, Coal Black Rose, and Jim Crow. And chapter 4 traces a performance genealogy of the blackface, cross-dressed “wenches” of Philadelphia’s annual Mummers Parade, whose costumes, music, and dance steps hark back to Revolutionary-era street performance, nineteenth-century racial caricature, and the antebellum minstrel show. By passing through the wormhole of the local into a reconfigured understanding of the global, this project highlights the co-articulation of oriental impersonation and blackface masking across a broad range of theatre and performance histories.

▼ Contemporary South Korean theatre of the twenty-first century has actively embraced the reproduction of indigenous tradition. Productions marked with Korean cultural codes are now a format for success among domestic and non-domestic audiences. Today, the revivalist movement of Korean indigenous arts is widely recognized as a pathway to the global market. The aim of this movement is to establish Koreannesque theatre that accurately represents Korean culture, as a competitor among other national or ethnic theatres. Ultimately, this revitalization demonstrates an unceasing longing for national theatre, or theatre that proudly represents Korean culture and sentiments to others. Here, the adjectives Korean and Koreannesque take on a nationalistic meaning that presupposes ethnically unique Korean features that broadly refer to the indigenous or traditional customs and culture prior to the influence of Japanese colonization and Western influence.The objective of this study is to critically examine South Korean director Sohn JinChaek’s creatively revived form of madangnori, an indigenous outdoor performance marked by theatrical story-telling and musical-like quality. The study investigates how Sohn contradicted contemporary society and artistic direction, and how he sought to establish a new theatre genre unique and native to Korean ethnic identity. By examining madangnori’s social and artistic relations with the representative theatrical work at that time, I will locate its place within the domestic and international domains. At the same time, I will explore the uniqueness of this uncommon and unrecognized theatrical form, which was ironically, made popular by a mainstream theatre director. This dissertation also indexes the rich matrix of events which led to the creation of madangnori and to its unusually long-term success; Long-term relative to other theatrical forms in South Korean theatre. I will examine the somewhat unclear relationship between madangnori and two stylistically similar genres, changguk and madangguk. Changguk is a modernized adaptation of pansori which is performed as an opera. Madangguk is a modernized adaptation of mask dance drama which shared great stylistic similarities with Sohn’s earlier productions before madangnori settled down as a specific performance genre after the 1990s. Changguk and madangguk were created and promoted by different political groups, yet madangnori partly share the stylistic and ideological directions with them. I argue that Sohn’s work has more in common with these two theatre genres more than with the two contemporary directors, Oh TaeSok and Lee YunTaek, whose work also have been discussed under the modernization of tradition. To varying degrees, madangnori, changguk, and madangguk aimed to formulate a national theatre and a folk theatre, an objective shared by Oh and Lee. While their objectives and medium seem to overlap with Sohn, Oh and Lee chose vastly different means for executing their aims. This study is an attempt to call attention, in both Korean and… Advisors/Committee Members: Ferris, Lesley (Advisor).

▼ This dissertation examines how American dramatists in the United States have constructed performances of black masculinity. The African American plays analyzed in this dissertation represent black men wresting their voices from the negative depiction by white artists and combating negative stereotyping. Performance often becomes and is used as a prison that captures and fixes representation beyond the historical moment, instead of a liberatory medium for social change. Likewise, racial discourses often collapse faulty historical narratives. This study on the performances of Black male masculinity in theatrical contexts explains how late twentieth century playwrights imagined, created and replicated black men. These texts and contexts not only fix representation in a medium that is replicable, but they also capture the social impressions about Black men, which dominate the popular imagination as well as academic theorizing. This study identifies common themes that explain (1) how artists create imagery that communicates their lived experience, and (2) how artists exemplify specific challenges of racial, gender and national performances in contemporary theatre. With the demise of chattel slavery in the United States, Black men have had to define physically their place in the country. Is it better to stay on the land and transform a history of bondage into a positive tradition or flee from the physical place of bondage in hopes of a better world? Chapter 2 examines how Samm-Art Williams orchestrates one man’s journey through the geography of palatial identity. Most contemporary African American dramatists depict either poor or working class black men. Chapter 3 will examine the construction of black masculinity by black women. The selected plays demonstrate how Black men negotiate relationships with mothers and female partners in addition to friendship with other men. Chapter 4 seeks to connect the preeminent gay black theorist with the cultural nationalism of the Black Arts Movement. Chapter 5 will examine Black men in public spaces. Tom Cole’s Medal of Honor Rag demonstrates the internal and external policing of the psyche that many Black men face. The play reflects varied subject positions but they provide crucial commentary on cultural practice in each society. Advisors/Committee Members: Constantinidis, Stratos (Advisor).

▼ This dissertation articulates the practice of clown theater by a Chicago-based company called 500 Clown in order to provoke further investigation and definition of this hybrid theatrical form, which, though increasingly popular as a practice, has yet to be theorized or historicized. This study addresses clown theater's relationships with other performance forms as well as how the form intersects with critical theater and performance concepts such as narrative structure, action, play, improvisation, spectatorship, risk, liveness and presence. Generally speaking, clown theater incorporates elements from both clown and dramatic theater. Clown offers a direct and immediate relationship with the audience, the privileging of spontaneous play over predetermined and complex narratives, and the unique presence of an individual performer as opposed to that of a fictional character. Dramatic theater offers, among other things, structures to sustain full-length productions and numerous conventions, which, though culturally specific, address fictional coherence, role of the audience, and repeatability of the event. Clown theater gets its dynamic not from a facile and complementary give and take of elements and conventions, but rather from tensions inherent in the interaction between clown and dramatic theater. This dissertation's methodology relies variously on participant observation, autoethnography, oral history, and the synthesis of secondary sources in order to create a detailed account of clown theater as developed and practiced by 500 Clown. This investigation of clown theater practice is framed by an examination of the particulars of creating and sustaining a theater company, a move that reflects my experience that artistic practice is in constant negotiation, conflict and cohabitation with business practice. In service to that, the opening and closing chapters explore how the form and content of artistic practice as well as the economics of sustaining that form are shaped by their context inclusive of colleagues, cost of living, availability of space, broader trends in the use-value of the arts and the more ineffable culture of a city.

▼ Modern theatrical scholars do not generally hold the first two decades of 20^th century American drama in high esteem. The received wisdom regarding most of the era under study is that Broadway was primarily a source of frivolous entertainment that bore little or no relation to the turbulent social forces that were shaping America as well as the outside world. Nevertheless, Broadway during the years 1900-1920 both reflected and impacted upon a particularly significant series of social changes—namely, the formation and rise of the Professional Managerial Class, or PMC. This intermediate class, positioned between the workers and the capitalist owners, found its niche and its identity as mental workers preserving capitalist culture, and this emerging class made significant contributions in shaping the modern Broadway theatre. Broadway, in turn, contributed greatly in shaping PMC class identity. Through an examination of plays, actors, reviews, and audience response of the period, and using the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, this document traces both the development of Broadway as a source of modern, “mature” American drama, as well as the development of PMC consciousness and “habitus”—that is, the outward bodily and behavioral display of the unconscious acceptance of class manifestations. In particular, one of the key class problems that both the PMC and Broadway sought to solve was that of “nerves.” Nerves plagued the minds of the theatre-going mental workers, and Broadway practitioners tried various strategies to conquer, or at least temporarily mollify, the nerves of the audience. These strategies included the song and dance of musicals, the laughter of comedies and farces, and the therapeutic onstage “talking cures” that reflected the increasing interest in and assimilation of Freudian concepts. By following these symbiotic developments to their climax in the 1920s, the historian discovers that the “birth” of what scholars consider modern American drama is primarily the result of the PMC fulfilling its task of maintaining and preserving capitalist culture.

▼ The 1960s ushered in a new era of theatrical experimentation and innovative performance practices, many founded upon rejecting the text as a central authority or guiding principle for production. At the same time, theorists were busy declaring the author dead. But the author refused to die quietly, and attempts to emancipate performance from texts have followed a complex and non-linear path. The purpose of this study is to examine how the concept of authorship as a cultural construction affects theater and performance practices from the 1960s to the present. Several key developments in the relationship between authorship and performance occur in this period, and these changes and their effects have yet to be fully explored. Two questions regarding authorship and theater guide my research. First, what role does authorship play in theater and performance since the 1960s? Second, what unique challenges do theater and performance present in this growing body of research about the relationship between theory, the law, and cultural production. Though the precise effects of this relationship vary among the different theater and performance genres I examine, a major theme appears repeatedly: theater practitioners’ rhetorical embrace of postmodern concepts such as the death of the author or espousal of anti-capitalist ideological commitments conflicting with their simultaneous engagement with modes of production ultimately aligned with an author-centric, hierarchical, capitalist ideology. I will argue that these conflicts result not from hypocrisy but from something much more complex: a series of contradictions and paradoxes built into legal and institutional systems that provide a place for resistant ideologies while simultaneously keeping them in check. Authorship occupies an ideologically privileged space as the default mode for cultural production. The 1960s to the present is a period full of performance practices moving away from or rhetorically resisting a textual basis, so understanding how authorship resists its own decentralization is crucial to understanding this period in theater and performance history.
