Featuring new works in performance studies by UCSB faculty: Leo Cabranes-Grant’s paper “Electronic Exiles: Writing, Technology and Electronic Exiles” explores the dynamics of electronic writing and translation in recent Caribbean performances. Catherine Cole’s “Archives and Repertoires of Revolution in South Africa” examines Nelson Mandela’s trials of the 1960’s as performative precursors to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In “Un-imagining Utopia: framing ‘the 60’s’,” Dick Hebdige will consider the radical nature of 60’s protest and countercultural performative gestures in relation to Batesonian frame analysis.

Sponsored by the IHC’s Performance Studies Research Focus Group.
