Sympathetic Vibrations: Sense-ability, Medical Performance, and Hearing Histories of Hurt
South Pacific Brownface: Racial Imposture, Global Markets, and National Theatre in Tapu (1903)
New Zealand critics and audiences in 1903 hailed Tapu (by Alfred Hill and Arthur Adams) as the harbinger of a new ‘national drama’. They thought that the comic opera captured the national essence and would broadcast the nation's advantages to a global audience. Yet the production never made it beyond Sydney, and has since disappeared from the historical record. My analysis of the script and critical reception shows that Tapu faltered in its confu…

Nintendo Museum: Intercultural Pedagogy, Neoliberal Citizenship, and a Theatre without Actors
Since 1998, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa has stood on the waterfront of the capital city, Wellington, where only a few years earlier dockworkers loaded freight ships bound for the UK with bales of wool, lamb carcasses, and unprocessed, unpackaged cheese and butter. Now Te Papa anchors an entertainment, leisure, and shopping development where cruise ships dock and the office workers of New Zealand's "creative capital" (as Wellington…
The Tourist State: Performing Leisure, Liberalism, and Race in New Zealand
No longer the dreary sheep farm at the end of the world, the New Zealand of the new millennium is a hot global ticket, heralded for its bicultural dynamism, laid-back lifestyle, and scenery extraordinary enough to pass for Tolkien's Middle Earth. How this image was crafted is the story this book tells. In a series of narratives that address the embodied dimensions of biopolitics and explore the collision of race, performance, and the cultural poe…
Pedagogy of/as/and Tourism: Or, Shameful Lessons
A recent New Yorker cartoon (10 January 2005) pictures a couple seated in a travel agent's office. Behind them a slew of posters tout exotic attractions: “Find the Lost Inca Burial Grounds!” “Disco
Tourism, Race and the State of Nature: On the Bio-Poetics of Government
The ethno-historical study of tourism can lend a new focus to the theorization of governmentality, demonstrating the ways in which it rests on the systemic, performative, and affective interpenetration of human and environmental bios (‘nature’), built form, economy, and the technologies of the state. This paper examines Rotorua, a tourism centre in New Zealand at the turn of the twentieth century, suggesting that it operated as a laboratory for t…
Shamefaced: Performing Pedagogy, Outing Affect
This essay examines the performative role of shame in pedagogical process. It argues for a renewed attention to affect in the critical study of both performance and pedagogy, suggesting that shame, a quintessentially negative affect, makes tangible the contours of institutional and social power, while also revealing the corporeal and relational commitments to others that form the basis of both schooling and performance. Affect has the potential t…

The Greatest Show on Earth: Political Spectacle, Spectacular Politics, and the American Pacific
This article examines the elements of theatrical and political spectacle surrounding the tour of the US Fleet to the Pacific and Japan in 1908, its melodramatic afterlife in the 1909 season of the New York Hippodrome, and the performances in the civic spaces of New York City by the production's Māori extras. Arguing that these touristic and theatrical spectacles were constitutive of an emergent globalist and Imperialist regional imaginary, the "A…
