The first half of the book, titled \u003cem\u003eOn Stage\u003c\/em\u003e, examines performance objects such as verbatim and documentary plays, children's theatre, immersive performance, slam poetry, video art and feature films. Specifically, it considers how refugees, and their artistic collaborators, assert their individuality, agency and authority as well as their resistance to cruel policies like offshore processing through performance. The second half of the book, titled \u003cem\u003eOff Stage\u003c\/em\u003e, employs performance as a lens to analyse the wider field of refugee politics, including the relationship between forced migrants and the forced displacement of First Nations peoples that underpins the settler-colonial state, philosophies of cosmopolitanism, the role of the canon in art history and the spectacle of bordering practices. In doing so, it illuminates the strategic performativity--and nonperformativity--of the law, philosophy, the state and the academy more broadly in the exclusion and control of refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken together, the chapters in this volume draw on, and contribute to, a wide range of disciplines including theatre and performance studies, cultural studies, border studies and forced migration studies, and will be of great interest to students and scholars in all four fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuzanne Little\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer and the Head of Theatre Studies at the University of Otago, New Zealand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamid Suliman is Senior Lecturer in Migration and Security in the School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science at Griffith University, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaroline Wake is Senior Lecturer of Theatre and Performance at the University of NSW, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354564608249,"sku":"9780367696696","price":80.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Ylc3VEtTZHhyaWErRk0zbzYzU3dzUT09.webp?v=1769838443","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/performance-resistance-and-refugees-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
