{"title":"Citizen in Exception: Omar Khadr and the Performative Gap in the Law","authors":"Matt Jones","doi":"10.3138/TRIC.41.1.88","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/TRIC.41.1.88","url":null,"abstract":"In May 2015, former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr was released from the Bowden Institution in Alberta. Khadr’s return to society followed 14 years of incarceration for an act that he may not have committed, which may not have been a crime, which took place while he was technically a child, and which was judged by a military tribunal that has questionable status in Canadian law.This article argues that Khadr’s long imprisonment was a political decision by US and Canadian authorities that required them to use performativity to suspend the law, depriving Khadr of his rights under American law, the Canadian Charter, and various protocols of international law. This use of performance to undermine law exposes a performative gap in the law: a space in the law that allows it to be moved and shaped by performative acts. Through these acts, Khadr became effectively stateless for a period in time: a citizen-in-exception. Building from Giorgio Agamben’s theory of the state of exception, this paper draws out the role played by performativity in the suspension of law by law. Importantly, the process that led to Khadr’s situation was racially charged from beginning to end. His situation is one manifestation of the way that Muslims have been “cast out” of Western law, as Sherene Razack puts it, since 9/11.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81835407","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}

Indigenous Performances of Sovereignty and Nationhood in Québec","authors":"Martha Herrera-Lasso González","doi":"10.3138/tric.40.1_2.170","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/tric.40.1_2.170","url":null,"abstract":"Encounters on Contested Lands joins an ongoing conversation around the challenges and possibilities of decolonization from the perspective of Performance Studies, and represents an important contribution to decolonial thought and practice across the Americas. Specifically, it broadens this conversation by offering a much-needed investigation, in English, of decolonization and performance read in relation to Quebecois claims of sovereignty. The project reveals Quebec as a place of competing sovereignties, focusing on contemporary encounters between Indigenous peoples and what Burelle calls the French Québécois de souche—French-speaking white descendants of early French settlers, who were colonized by the British and later by Anglo Canadians. Burelle pushes against a long-time narrative of Quebec as a colonized minority, and makes visible the white possessive logic that connects English and French Canadian colonial projects, highlighting how Quebec’s history of suffering and practices of selective remembering have been used to assert a Québécois de souche nationalist project. Through her analysis of a range of cultural and political performances, Burelle exposes the discursive and performative strategies of dispossession of Indigenous peoples that have made this project possible, arguing throughout that Quebec’s imagined community is still unable “to accommodate (let alone comprehend) the concept of Indigenous sovereignty” (16). As a settler scholar, Burelle does not shy away from her positionality as Québécoise de souche, and offers a range of strategies for settler scholars to engage productively with their own accountability. Burelle’s introduction explicitly outlines her choices in nomenclature and citation, acknowledging the politics of naming and the importance of positioning theory in relation to the places and peoples discussed.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87930872","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}

Engaging with research by Ben Fletcher-Watson, Lise Hovik, Matthew Reason, and Adele Senior, this article uses company archives, artist interviews, and the writer’s personal experiences to analyze how the WeeFestival temporarily establishes an alternative public sphere that challenges policy-makers, funders, and artists to rethink relationships between arts, very young citizens, and urban life. Even though very young citizens may not initially know that they want to experience art, the festival attends to the interests and responses of young people, demonstrates respect for their capacity to be emotionally and intellectually engaged by artful and thoughtful productions, and establishes festivalized spaces that put an alternative public sphere into action, gesturing to the possibility of real social change. Taking into account the significance of programming for artists, educators, and policy-makers alongside the significance of meaningful audience-artist exchange, the analysis suggests that events like the WeeFestival have the capacity to gently shift how urban dwellers perceive very young children and the way they interact with the arts in daily life.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82866026","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}

En effet, les festivals de musique, de cinéma et de culture s’y multiplient comme des champignons; certains festivals, comme le Fungus Among Us de Whistler, en Colombie-Britannique, se consacrent même à ce modeste organisme. Du Sound Symposium de Saint-Jean (Terre-Neuve) au festival Fringe de Victoria, en passant par le festival Island Unplugged de l’île Pelée (le point le plus au sud du Canada) et le festival des arts Alianait d’Iqaluit, au Nunavut, les festivals parsèment le paysage théâtral de ce territoire que l’on appelle aujourd’hui le Canada. Partout au pays, ils font de petites localités rurales des destinations touristiques et transforment des centres urbains en « villes festivalières » (voir Johannson, Thomasson). En travaillant au Cambridge Companion to International Theatre Festivals, j’ai compilé une liste de plus de quarante festivals internationaux de théâtre, de performance et d’arts multidisciplinaires au Canada, à laquelle il faudrait ajouter les festivals de musique ou de son, de cirque et d’arts visuels. S’y ajoutent encore divers rassemblements shakespeariens : le festival Shakespeare by the Sea sur la côte Est, Bard on the Beach en Colombie-Britannique, la programmation des théâtres de répertoire à Stratford et à Niagaraon-the-Lake, ou encore les nombreux festivals sans composante internationale comme le festival sans lieu fixe qu’est le Magnetic North. Il ne faudrait pas oublier non plus les vingtet-un membres de l’association canadienne de festivals Fringe (auxquels s’ajoutent neuf membres basés aux États-Unis), ni les autres festivals « rebelles » de cet ordre.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90621951","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}

Davis","doi":"10.3138/tric.40.1_2.168","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/tric.40.1_2.168","url":null,"abstract":"This book documents cultural encounters facilitated in immersive role-play scenarios of military and counterinsurgency training, dark tourism, and pedagogy based on history, topography, and the politics of human rights violations. Among the four case studies, two concern training for North American combatants engaged in declared and covert wars in the Middle East; two feature Indigenous cultures claiming control over their narratives, designed to proactively alter a people’s future; and whereas one relies on a built simulation three others utilize the natural landscape to shape encounters. Like studies by Scott Magelssen and Coco Fusco, among others, Natalie Alvarez’s work is invested in formal characteristics of the cases, such as live immersive situations, for paradigm-building. Yet, more importantly, it is cultural ethnography that first destabilizes then reorients the ethnographer’s understanding of kinds of knowledge and leads to sensitization to local cultures and ethical experiences of learning. It matters less whether the cases cohere in terms of formal elements of performance than that, through field work and ethnographic reflection, performance is indispensable in promoting personal encounters imbued with empathy. Over the course of many years, Alvarez’s field work—at CFB Camp Wainwright’s Afghan Village training site, the private company Aeneas Group International’s course on Countering Insurgency in Complex Environments held in the Utah mountains, a nighttime walk led by Indigenous Hñahñu in Hildalgo northeast of Mexico City simulating perils encountered by border-crossing migrants, and a tour of Shoal Lake 40 Reserve conducted by a community leader and settler-ally through this Anishinaabe reserve in southeastern Manitoba—accumulates into a profound meditation on experiences of encounter.","PeriodicalId":53669,"journal":{"name":"Theatre Research in Canada-Recherches Theatrales au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76775980","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}
