How are theatrical representation and political representation enmeshed? How do politicians, in Question Time or during an election campaign, project an image of themselves as worthy of our support ? How do social movements advance their claims through performative protest actions? Why has performance become central to so many political processes? This unit tackles such questions through a combination of fieldwork, media/performance analysis, and a closely supervised original group research project.
