Transformation of Buddhist Mandalas into a Virtual Reality Installation
Technology can translocate traditional art into interactive, immersive experiences. At the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, the authors transformed Tibetan Buddhist mandalas into a 3D virtual reality mandala installation. Furthering this project, they externalized an analog of the meditative experience by recording electroencephalograms that dynamically modulated the visual scene. The use of neurofeedback allowed fluctuations in the alpha power…
I Mean There’s Nothing to Worry About…Until There’s Something to Worry About
This autoperformance script maps the journey to tenure and promotion to full professor of a personal narrative researcher and performance artist in a supportive, affirming communication studies department in a regional state university with the Carnegie classification of “higher research activity.” The writer/performer/researcher enacts an autoarchaeological analysis of annual review comments combined with autoethnographic (re)creations of colleg…
(Re)directing a university storytelling troupe for at-risk elementary students for course credit
This essay maps a professor/director's experience designing and leading a university storytelling troupe that performs for children in local Title 1 elementary schools for course credit. The director begins by applying performance ethnographic and personal narrative research methodology to redesign the course to meet the needs of at-risk children and then explains the process through which the students in the open-enrollment troupe select and ada…
The visceral remains
Through analyzing the narratives of two elders experiencing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) as personal performances of identity, this essay explores repetition in interpersonal interactions beyond a familiar diagnostic sign of the progression of memory loss. The author argues that, as AD hinders the body’s ability to diversify language and adhere to cultural expectations for personal performances, the visceral desire that compels humans to perform for/…
She Was Here
This essay traces a co-exploration into understanding aging, memory, and purpose through the analysis of elders stories told during varying stages of memory loss. Responding to the prompt, "What are the memories you don't want to forget?" participants told stories of "culturally uncomfortable" identities they worried no one else prioritized remembering. As the researchers, we were faced with the struggle to continue human connection beyond vulner…
Almost Passing
This study explores the relationship between gender norms and able-bodied biases through a performance analysis of seven physically disabled women's open-ended personal narratives. Each participant has been medically diagnosed as physically disabled while appearing to fit the social categories of White, thin, young, and athletic. Findings map the ongoing cultural interpretations of their bodies as both atypical and familiar so that they almost (b…
Performance Studies
This reflective essay re-creates two conversations that set my path as a performance studies scholar. The first takes place at the beginning of the last year of my undergraduate degree, when a professor directed me away from law school and toward a communication degree with a performance studies concentration. The second takes place the summer before I began graduate school as I struggled to figure out how to ask Kristin Langellier to be my thesi…
"Problematizing a Researcher's Performance of "Insider Status
This article struggles with the complications of a researcher claiming insider status in an analysis of physically disabled professionals' narratives as performance of identity when some participants actively resist the idea that the researcher can access their experiences through her body that is more or less disabled than theirs. Through applying reflexive autoethnographic techniques the researcher interweaves stories from her past with the sto…
Stories of Hyperembodiment
This essay stems from a performance analysis of twenty-six physically disabled professionals' personal narratives: attending to the points when narrators focused their attention on how their bodies shaped their identities, particularly those who struggled with the mixed reactions and understandings of disabled identity. Narrators struggled to perform how atypical flesh, blood, and bone "mattered" in their daily lived experience, grappling with ho…
Attending to the disembodied character in research on professional narratives
This essay provides a rationale of how Performance Analysis and Narrative Positioning within research on Physically Disabled Professionals’ Personal Narratives can provide insight into the role of the body in the analysis of professional narratives. Through analyzing the participants’ open-ended narratives as performances in which the narrators draw upon performativities to reconcile the absurdity associated with their deemed ‘unprofessional’ bod…
