And Performance

A turn towards practice and performance has been an important feature of the humanities and social sciences during the last decade. In this article, it will be argued that looking into the practice of museology is important for answering what museology is and evaluating what it can be used for. A visit will be paid to the various names given to museum-related studies, before giving an account of how three fairly recent Nordic PhD theses approach their subject matter. All three of them, it will be argued, can inspire museum practices. However, they are also highly important studies that not only speak to museological concerns, but also address questions that are of relevance for understanding wider cultural and societal changes.

And Training

The profound spatial turn experienced by the humanities and social sciences over recent decades has prompted a re-examination of how space and place inform our understandings of theatre and performance. In this article we investigate the ways in which the theatrical labour that occurs within rehearsal and backstage spaces involves not only the making of theatrical performance but also the making of theatrical performers. Drawing on fieldwork-based research, and exploring the concepts of orientational metaphor, tactical inhabitation and training zones, we argue that performers’ use and inhabitation of rehearsal and backstage spaces is a key means through which they are formed as professional artists.

This essay is the relic of a projected history of ‘individualism in politics’. That enterprise – the reasons for abandoning it will be transparent from what follows – prompted some reflections which may be of more general interest. For no habit is better established in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in political speech, than that of constituting a subject-matter for oneself by means of an -ism. And while there may be instances where the context makes this practice unproblematic, a survey of the past and contemporary record of -isms gives grounds for suspicion and reservations.
