Why Can’t We Play on Grass?”: An Investigation of Discourse on Sterling Shepard’s ACL Tear
This manuscript considers public discourse surrounding the link between playing surface and lower-extremity injuries within the context of a case study on New York Giants’ wide-receiver Sterling Shepard’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, with an aim to identify and explain the use of narratives as a function of commenters’ stakeholder groups and expressions of fandom. Such an effort extends scholarship on issues of athlete health policy to …
Performing HeLa: Theatrical bodies and living remains
As a biomedical entity that has been the subject of a plethora of artistic and cultural projects, HeLa, the first immortal human cell line, calls for investigations into the human. Extracted and cultured from the cervical tumour of African-American woman, Henrietta Lacks, at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1950s' Baltimore, HeLa's robust capacity to grow has ensured its role in numerous medical advances. The first part of this essay synthesises scienti…
Unsanctioned Refugee Processing: Maritime Interception, Aesthetics, Hospitality
The sea is central to constructions of the refugee -maritime passage indelibly linked to political process -even as image-making and narrativization on water are inhibited by the otherness of the pelagic environment. Legally unauthorized maritime transit has informed condemnatory narratives of refugeeness in recent decades, and wealthy nations increasingly rely on extra-territorial and expulsive procedures to prevent the arrival of forced migrant…

Envisioning asylum/engendering crisis: Or, performance and forced migration 10 years on
‘The questions of migration, asylum, the management of international borders, security, and “terror” are at the political heart of our age’. This statement could have been written yesterday but in fact, it was published 10 years ago, as the opening sentence of Helen Gilbert and Sophie Nield's editorial for their special issue of RiDE, ‘Performance and Asylum: Embodiment, Ethics, Community’ (2008, 133). In this introduction, we outline connections…
Processional Aesthetics and Irregular Transit: Envisioning Refugees in Europe
With roots in the Latin procedere, meaning to go forward, advance, or proceed, procession bears comparison with its derived terms process and procedure vis-à-vis the technologies of status determination that adjudicate refugee status. But the humanitarian crisis of en masse arrival, which cascaded a series of unilateral responses by European Union member states in 2015 and 2016, altered the procedural functioning of political borders. Within this…
Mare Nostrum, or On Water Matters
This dialogue between two performance academics, whose childhood memories are intertwined with memories of the sea, aims to consider the role of performance as response to or reflection on the numerous deaths of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea, while tracing echoes and resonances of the migration crisis in the Australian context.In the wake of the cessation in late 2014 of Italy’s European Commission-supported Operation Mare Nostrum migrant sea…
Performing Noncitizenship: Asylum Seekers in Australian Theatre, Film and Activism
This exacting study examines the theatre, film and activism engaged with the representation or participation of asylum seekers and refugees in the twenty-first century. Cox shows how this work has been informed by and indeed contributed to the consolidation of 'irregular' noncitizenship as a cornerstone idea in contemporary Australian political and social life, to the extent that it has become impossible to imagine what Australia means without it

Dialogue and Decentralisation in Australian Asylum Anthologies
We, the Iranian asylum seekers in Port Headland, Villawood and Baxter are writing to tell you that we escaped from the country of Iran for our freedom and our survival. (Letter from Iranian detainees, Another Country) In Australia, the field of contemporary creative representation on asylum is enriched by diverse non-professional and community-based work, including self-narratives by asylum seekers and refugees. This essay situates three Australi…
The citation of injury: Regarding the exceptional body
Australia's instrumentalisation of non-citizen bodies via the practice of extrajudicial immigration detention produces a context for abjection in the form of hunger strikes and self-mutilation. This article examines the representation of these self-injuries in the poems ‘Asylum’ by Mehmet al Assad (2002) and ‘Make a whistle from my throat’ by an anonymous Baxter detainee (2005); Shahin Shafaei's solo play Refugitive (2002–04); solidarity fasts by…
The intersubjective witness: Trauma testimony in Towfiq Al-Qady's Nothing But Nothing: One Refugee's Story
Testimony typically privileges singular subjectivity; as a means of representing psychological trauma, it is thought to bear witness to an individual's unique experience. This essay interrogates the question of singular subjectivity, arguing that a community can be the nexus around which witnesses ‘gather’ the human and historiographical significance of their experiences, focusing their constitutive relationship with those of and for whom the tes…
