Is there a doctor in the house
Considering the contemporary American political and social malaise, the author finds medicine in art therapy
Cap Pistols and Rubber Tomahawks
Learning to play cowboys and Indians involves embodied representations of a mediated cultural imaginary that contrasts significantly with the author's childhood observations of Native Americans and Western ranch hands. This study analyzes family photographs from the 1950s, as well as the author's experiences, to probe pervasive myths
The Paradox of Patrick Santoro's At the Mercy of Ruin
Patrick Santoro's At the Mercy of Ruin, featuring a surrealistic dreamscape blending cinemascope images of ruin with live action, serves as a site for investigating loss, love, ruin, and mercy. This review focuses on Santoro's live performance that draws on his ethnographic fieldwork at Old Shawneetown, IL, on the banks of the Ohio river, images from the ancient city of Pompeii, and his evocative personal narratives

It's Time to Boo
In this piece the author questions audience behavior in the 2012 Republican primary campaign for U.S. President. Why do some ideas and performances resonate to the point of producing overt response? What underlying elements condition an audience to boo or applaud? The cultural climate of talk radio and other heated rhetoric contributes to creating conditions ripe for explosion in this context. The author develops a personal poetic response to two…

Performing Master Han
In asking what it means to perform an ethnographic other, I, a middle-aged White American man, struggle with a performance of my older Taiwanese Tai Chi teacher. Although everyday life performance (ELP) leads me ever closer to an exact copy of Master Han's behaviors, it simultaneously clarifies difference. Is it mimesis or alterity? Am I presenting or representing? Am I integrating participant and observer? Is autoethnography, like poetry, someth…

Toward an aesthetics of natural performance
The recent utilization in performance of texts which arise from everyday activities, such as naturally‐occurring conversation, shares a tradition with performance studies/oral interpretation practice while suggesting a new aesthetics of natural performance. This study describes performance practices which involve the re/performance of ordinary interaction. A model of natural performance situates its aesthetics on the intersection of two continua:…
Minding the stops
Because performance particularizes and reifies all the component elements of the literary experience, it can be a valuable test of descriptions of the reading process. A comparison of performance practice and theory with one of the most famous descriptions of reading in contemporary literary theory, Stanley Fish's affective stylistics, demonstrates the accuracy of its claims. The study concludes that Fish's later rejection of affective stylistics…
