It focuses on the ways in which institutional scripts, the disciplinary expectations of the academic field of international relations, and the logic of the market shape and condition bodily movement, modes of expression, and structures of thinking, feeling, sensing as well as practices of self-making in the contemporary university and, more broadly, as everyday social performance. Through vignettes that give a personal, narrative account of learning about learning, it tells the story of an experimental course at Central European University, which specifically sought to draw attention to and creatively subvert the enactment of habitual academic performances in various registers. Embracing the risk of mistakes, discomfort, and awkwardness as intrinsic features of the experience of teaching and being taught, routinized and instrumental practices of sense-making opened up to new perceptual dimensions. In this effort, misperformances as ephemeral, unpredictable, improvised moments that are inevitable in the performance of institutional roles revealed their generative capacity to facilitate embodied, grounded, and socially sensitive understandings of selfhood and otherness as lived, actual realities of international relations. Inspired by Jacques Rancière’s figure of the ignorant schoolmaster, an iterated listening exercise foregrounded the work of attention and, as illustrated by focus group discussions, enabled participants to lessen performance pressure and develop alternative sensibilities of embodied presence, communication, and learning together.","PeriodicalId":107426,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Politics and Performance","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131724667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several writers have identified the simultaneous growth of photography, ethnography, and colonizing projects from the nineteenth century. The photographed subject was frozen as an object for others’ scrutiny, with photography reinforcing the huge divide between the meanings attached to the surfaces of the bodies of African people and ideas about whiteness and the West. The chapter focuses on how anthropological constructs and codes perist in ostensibly postcolonial and counterhegemonic representations. It analyzes the contemporary photographs of the internationally acclaimed South African photographer Zanele Muholi, especially images from her “Faces and Phases” photographs of black lesbians and transmen. On one hand, the portraits are powerful political statements: they portray the dignity and courage of certain lesbians and transmen, make a marginalized community visible in a heterosexist and racist public sphere, and gesture toward meanings of African identities that are radically at odds with both colonial and (patriarchal) nationalist identities. On the other hand, viewers are invited to recognize the agency and public visibility of the subject in ways similar to how viewers of colonial and nationalist performances have been encouraged to recognize and categorize the bodies of authentic African women and men.","PeriodicalId":107426,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Politics and Performance","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130371318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
