Factors contributing to Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in Veterans later in the pandemic
Vaccine hesitancy remains a significant public health concern despite the widespread availability of vaccines. Little is known about factors influencing hesitancy among U.S. military Veterans later in the pandemic. The goal of this study was to identify factors contributing to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among U.S. military Veterans more than one year after vaccine availability. This study was part of the COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance…
Theatre and Performance
It’s a cliché, of course, to open an annual review by pointing out how the texts under discussion reflect our contemporary moment. And none of the books reviewed here are modish responses to passing scholarly fads. All speak first and foremost to concerns located at the very heart of the theatre medium itself: the imaginative construction of alternative shared worlds, and the exploration of our hopes and fears around modes of interpersonal touch …
Let's Relax
Andrew Culp and the Cultural Studies Association’s Performance Working Group Co-Chair Hui Peng discuss “relaxed performance” with Leigh Jackson, Director of Accessibility and EDI Programming at People's Light outside of Philadelphia, and Dr. Hannah Simpson, Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh and author of "Samuel Beckett and Disability Performance" (Palgrave, 2022). This podcast is accompanied by a scholarly commentary by Patrick McKelvey
Performance, Theatre, and Drama
The first section of this review, ‘Staging Reality’, reads two monographs that grapple with large-scale thinking about how theatre and performance engage with various ideas of ‘reality’: Lindsay Brandon Hunter’s exploration of performing ‘the real’ in theatre, television, and alternative-reality gaming in Playing Real: Mimesis, Media, and Mischief, and Bess Rowen’s theorizing of ‘affective stage directions’ in The Lines Between the Lines: How Sta…
Displacing the Human
Our collective consciousness lacks ready visual iconography for the elements of the climate crisis that extend beyond or below our own human-centred scale: the microzoa that power our ecosystems, or colossal global, atmospheric and multi-century environmental changes. Theatre’s engagement with climate change has tended to remain human-scaled and human-centred: as a medium which traditionally relies on the human body as its main referent, theatre …
Theatre and Performance
There is a sad irony in writing about theatre and performance scholarship at a time when most US and UK theatre are still closed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, for all its challenges, 2020 saw the publication of several noteworthy books that significantly advanced the field of theatre and performance studies, and which offer some cause for celebration. This review focuses on three major subject areas: 1. Performing Women, Women in…
World War II
The destructive action of World War II extended far beyond the traditional battlefield arena, the more familiar trench-and-no-man’s-land zones that had typified World War I. This special issue investigates the impact of medical crisis and treatment on non-combatant bodies: civilian women, evacuated children, interned prisoners, spies and double agents, and, in the long aftermath of the war, medial patients affected by chronic physical injury, men…
Battling Through the Bodies’
The flesh poured over her, the hot, nerve wired, now lit up, now dark as the grave physical body.' (Virginia Woolf, Between the Acts, 1941) In Virginia Woolf's final novel Between the Acts, largely written in 1940 but set on the eve of World War II in the late 1930s, Isa Oliver narrates this extraordinary affective encounter with the 'physical body': a spilling, unruly mass of flesh and nerves, evoking the burning heat of the electric wire and th…
Grandparents raising grandchildren
The aim of the current study was to explore the relationship between the psychological health of grandparents raising grandchildren, and those grandchildren's social, emotional and behavioural issues. The study also assessed the relationship between psychological well-being in grandparents and access to informal social support. The sample comprised 100 grandparents who were raising grandchildren. Regression analyses revealed that grandparents car…
