'Practicing Alternative Historiographies: Contemporary Material Performance Practices in Turkey, Lebanon and Iran'

大多数对象表演的历史倾向于借鉴西方戏剧实践，这个项目希望勾勒出一个不同的轨迹。它借鉴了中东的做法，包括使用物体和木偶而不是人类演员的当代戏剧，以及使用物体在社会和政治领域进行一系列干预的更广泛的文化实践。我的项目将提供一种替代性的材料表现实践史学，质疑西方以文化为中心的遗产，并将表现作为一个透镜来探索和干预流离失所和移民的政治。

Where most histories of object performance tend to draw on Western theatre practices, this project looks to outline a different trajectory. One that draws on Middle Eastern practices including contemporary theatre that uses objects and puppets instead of human actors, and wider cultural practices that use objects to perform a set of interventions within social and political spheres. My project will offer an alternative historiography of material performance practices that question Western anthropocentric legacies and mobilise performance as a lens to explore and intervene in a politics of displacement and migration.
