I'm working on writing up a 'major research proposal' as part of my MA research, which would be an 'imaginative ethnographic' approach to the work of several rural, land-based performance ensembles in the US and Canada. Particularly I'm curious about how their practices and process create 'imaginative lifeworlds' (Irving) and phenomenologically reflect proposals of intersubjective relationships between the body and nature/the world. I've been very inspired on this front by reading A Different Kind of Ethnography, a series of essays that came out this year edited by Dara Culhane and Denielle Elliott (University of Toronto Press, 2017).
As I work on this, thought I'd share my annotated bibliography that I'm developing as I do my research...and a much larger working bibliography, which is here. Just in case you're also working at the intersection of cultural geography, performance studies, and ecotheatre/ecodramaturgy and are interested...one of the kind of meta-questions I'm thinking a lot about is what the utility of writing papers is and how academic work translates in and out of academia.
Still experimenting with what this blog might become as a record of work in and outside of academia...
