Conference CFP: Performance, Politics, and Play [New York City]
Performance, Politics, and Play
September 13-16, 2018
New York City
In response to the “performative turn” in the humanities, the ongoing interest in bio- and body-politics, and the growing attention to leisure, dance, and sport studies, the International Society for Cultural History invites paper and panel proposals for its 2018 annual conference on Performance, Politics, and Play. Scholars working on any historical period or location are encouraged to explore this theme. Topics may include (but are by no means limited to):
performative/bodily practices of politics and play
political performances
