Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the concepts of performance and performativity in a way that extends the general familiarity with them that is the content of the core courses or their application in the courses of the department's core teachers. In turn, this course will give you the opportunity to become familiar with the use of both concepts, which are the basis of so-called performance studies, in the study of primarily non-theatrical events (sociology, political science, religious studies, etc.). One of the aims of the course is to show that there is no unbridgeable gap between artistic and non-artistic events, but that both types of events can be studied to advantage using identical methodological tools.
At the end of the course, students will be able to: explain the essence of the concepts of performance and performativity; explain and give examples of how these concepts can be used as methodological tools in the study of different types of cultural performances; explain and give examples of what, from the perspective of performance studies, connects theatrical and non-theatrical, more generally artistic and non-artistic types of events.
