Rediscovered Music, Undiscoverable Interpretation
This article discusses the widespread implications to the field of performance studies of attempting modern realizations of previously forgotten artwork for which any traditions of interpretation as might once have existed cannot now be recovered, mindful of the broad range of recent endeavours to expand and diversify artistic canons through rediscovery of the outputs of creators who have historically been marginalized on such grounds as gender o…

The Statue of Dame Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) in Dukes Plaza, Woking
This article discusses the unveiling of the life-size-plus statue of Dame Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) in Dukes Plaza, Dukes Court, Woking on 8 March 2022.

Drawing on autoethnographic approaches, it contemplates the challenges assoc…

In successive episodes, it discusses the difference between autoethnography and autobiography, the value and limitations of single-subject ethnographic study, and the types of mater…
