In my thesis, I argue "against the grain," asserting that the war over authenticity among first-wave and second-wave-Asian-American writers is in fact a red-herring argument. The diversity within Asian American literature--be it nationalist, multiculturalist, or globalist--is initiated by a subversive kernel borne out of Asian American writers' frustration at the manner in which Asians had, up until now, been portrayed in popular culture. This thesis will pay particular attention to how Chinese American writers, namely Frank Chin and David Henry Hwang, contest the emasculated stereotype of Asian American identity by reclaiming historical agency, demanding representational authenticity, and urging for political equality in their literature. Following a discussion of Charles Taylor's location of the originality of identity in dis/re-covery, this thesis will commence with a Freudian and Benjimanian analysis of history in Chin's Donald Duk (1991) and Hwang's Golden Child (1996). This thesis then examines the role of Chinese literature in the composition of Chinese American literature, especially in Donald Duk, Gunga Din Highway (1995), FOB (1983), and Dance and the Railroad (1983). I ascertain that the similarities/differences yielded between the "ur-myth" of Guan Gong, a general warlord who served under Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms era, and the Asian American depictions of Guan symbolically indicate Chin and Hwang's political beliefs on how Asian American literature should be interpreted in a post-civil-rights-movement era. To continue exploring the matrix of Asian American identity in a multicultural context, I contend that post-hyphenated identity is a conscientious performance of self by drawing on Chin's The Chickencoop Chinaman (1972) and Hwang's Yellow Face (2009) as examples.

Jamband expert Dean Budnick coined the term shortly thereafter to describe bands that perform long, improvised jams during their live shows. As these improvised shows have increased in popularity, they have become great spectacles, featuring light shows, filmed images, dancing, storytelling, and short plays. While the performance happening inside the arena deserves study, there is an equally interesting performance that takes place in parking lots before and after the shows. This is the performance of the identity of the jamband fan. How is jamband fan performance maintained and negotiated in the environment of the jamband show? Why do people need to perform this identity? Do they resist or contribute to the society that formed this subculture? Is it possible to resist society and perform "utopia," or are these fans' philosophies and styles always recuperated back into the society they try to resist? This dissertation seeks to analyze this performance as fans express behavior during pre- and postconcert activities. I will limit my study to fans of the four largest American arena jambands: the Grateful Dead, Phish, The String Cheese Incident, and Widespread Panic. While Performance Studies have sought to compare everyday life to theater, my dissertation seeks to use performance studies and subculture studies to examine whether a performance of an identity or membership within a group can be resistant to or contributing to society. This examination may help us gain a greater understanding of our social experiences. / Committee in charge: John Schmor, Chairperson, Theater Arts; John Watson, Member, Theater Arts; Theresa May, Member, Theater Arts; Daniel Wojcik, Outside Member, English

Kara Walker is one of the most successful and widely known contemporary African-American artists today--remarkable for her radical engagement with issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Walker is best known for her provocative installations, composed of cut-paper silhouettes depicting fantastic and grotesque scenes of the antebellum South. This thesis examines Walker's work in silhouettes, text, and video in order to establish the unifying logic that unites her media. Walker's use of racist stereotypes has incited vehement criticism, and the debate over the political meaning of her work has been worked and reworked in the voluminous literature on her artistic practice. This thesis focuses on how Walker's defense and explanation of her own work functions as a performative and political component of the art itself. Walker's construction and performance of an artistic identity is an integral and intentional part of her overall practice and a key component to the interpretation of her work.

O objetivo geral deste trabalho consiste na proposta de se conceber performatividade e heterogeneidade como princípios gerais e inextricáveis entre si da atividade linguageira do homem. Na nossa acepção, essa inextricabilidade permeia, no plano da enunciação, toda e qualquer manifestação linguístico-discursiva. Quanto ao postulado da performatividade, concebemo-lo com base no pensamento de John Langshaw Austin (1962), enquanto o da heterogeneidade, apreendemo-lo, por sua vez, junto a Jacqueline Authier-Reveuz (1982). Em relação à noção de heterogeneidade, esta compreende, no âmbito desta tese, tanto as manifestações linguísticas que comportam explicitamente ou não as marcas de um discurso outro no discurso (= heterogeneidade mostrada), quanto aquelas em que as vozes do exterior só podem ser apreendidas a partir das suas ressonâncias (inter)discursivas (= heterogeneidade constitutiva). No que concerne ao postulado da performatividade, trata-se de uma concepção global da linguagem enquanto função última de todo e qualquer ato de enunciação, no sentido de este corresponder sempre a um instrumento de ação do homem sobre o mundo e sobre o próprio homem. Cumpre ressalvar, no entanto, que, na presente tese, a apreensão da performatividade inerente aos nossos atos de linguagem dialoga não só com o princípio austiniano do dizer é fazer, mas também com a teoria interacionista (Van Dijk, 2000) da fórmula dizer é fazer fazer. No que concerne ao corpus selecionado como fonte de ilustração dos princípios mencionados, este se constitui dos romances Esaú e Jacó (1904) e Memorial de Aires (1908), de Machado de Assis / The aim of this work consists in the proposal of conceiving performativity and heterogeneity as general and inseparable principles of the linguistic activities of human beings. This inseparability permeates, in the enunciation plan, any linguistic-discursive manifestation. With regard to the performativity principle (< performative utterance), the present work is based on John Langshaw Austins studies (1962), and the heterogeneity principle relies on Jacqueline Authier-Reveuzs works (1982). Regarding the notion of heterogeneity, this includes both the linguistic expressions that explicitly admit, or not, the marks of a discourse other in the discourse (= shown heterogeneity), as those in which the exterior voices can only be seized from their resonances (inter)discursive (= constitutive heterogeneity). In relation to the principle of performativity, it is a global concept of language as a function of any act of enunciation, as this always constitutes an instrument of the human action on the world and on humanity. However, in the present thesis, the conceiving of performativity inherent in acts of language dialogues not only with Austins principle of to say is to do, but also with the formulas interactionist theory (Van Dijk, 2000) to say is to do doing. With regard to the corpus selected as a source of illustration of the principles mentioned, the present work includes the novels Esaú e Jacó (1904) and Memorial de Aires (1908), by Machado de Assis

The continuing improvement in standards and the associated direct school accountability has been at the forefront of school policy since the introduction of the Education Reform Act of 1988. Its introduction brought both top down curriculum control and the opening up of primary schools in England to neo-liberal market reforms. To facilitate direct market competition and raise standards, measures of performance were introduced, in the form of annually published national assessments (SATs) and from 1992 inspection by Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education). These measures took on board the status of High Stakes Testing (HST), since their outcomes directly impacted upon the professional lives of all those working within primary schools. Prior to 1988, central government had started to address underachievement, for example, Better Schools (DfES 1985), but now, for the first time, individual schools and their leaders were to be directly responsible for the achievement, or otherwise, of their pupils through the publication of attainment data and regular inspection reports. The notion of performativity (Ball 2003) was introduced into English primary schools, where performance measures and judgements (HST) were used as a means of top-down regulation and policy enforcement. This study investigates current primary school headteachers’ perceptions of their own professional accountability. It further explores the continuing focus on standards and the constant pressures and conflicts heads currently face in terms of maximising pupil attainment outcomes. The fieldwork was carried out within thirty four state funded primary schools across the North of England. A questionnaire was used to survey headteachers’ current perceptions; this data located heads on to a conceptual framework (Figure 5.5). Heads are located into one of four positions regarding their perceptions of the Standards Driven Agenda (SDA) and HST. Heads from each of the positions were then interviewed, which formed the prime data collection tool. The research further examines the inter-relationship between socio-economic context and HST outcomes, addressing the question of the equality of the application of identical floor targets for all primary schools, regardless of circumstance. Schools falling within areas of high and low deprivation were identified, using the income deprivation affecting children index (IDACI); each area’s headteachers’ perceptions were then compared and contrasted, in order to identify any effects of context. Ranson’s (2003) typology and Ball’s (2003) conceptualisation of accountabilities were developed in order to explore the identified trend of heads resisting what they view as a ‘data dictatorship’, and seeking to reinstate a previous age of professionalism. A clear plea for a change was evident with a call for a shift away from the current focus on standards in English and maths to the adoption of a more balanced and creative curriculum, where both the academic and social needs of the children are being met. The desire to return to Grace’s (1995) notion of the cult of the ‘headmaster tradition’, with the reinstatement of higher levels of professional autonomy and trust, was evident within many of the participating heads, along with a strong sense of moral guardian and leadership. All heads are aware of the need to be accountable for the tax payers’ money used to fund their schools, accepting the need for accountability measures. However, both sets of heads acknowledge that when a school’s effectiveness is solely measured by means of HST, it fails to be a level playing field. Factors such as parental support and education, housing and income were all identified as significant contributing factors in pupil attainment, resulting in heads reporting that these factors were not taken into account when the performance of their school was judged. The study contributes to the knowledge of how serving heads balance the needs of their children, parents and staff, whilst ensuring that they continue to improve standards, as defined by successive governmental policy and thus meet the requirements of HST.

La performativité est une théorie qui a été développée de la théorie des actes de paroles (J.L. Austin), aux études anthropologiques (Victor Turner), jusqu’à être considérée comme un modèle épistémologique plus connu sous le nom de tournant performatif. La théorie performative est ainsi devenue une catégorie d’analyse qui cherche à étudier les phénomènes culturels en tant que représentations d’actes et de discours. C’est avec Judith Butler et les études performatives (Performative Studies) qu’elle a atteint son apogée comme outil fructueux pour l’étude des performances théâtrales. Cependant, son application aux phénomènes narratifs a été moindre et elle s’est à peine développée en tant que perspective qui favorise l’observation du genre comme performance dans le roman. À partir de la théorie de la performativité du genre (Butler) et des performances théâtrales considérées comme modificatrices des réalités des spectateurs, ce travail aspire, en premier lieu, à unir les deux concepts et à établir un cadre épistémologique qui permette d’organiser la performativité du genre dans le roman. Ainsi, nous utiliserons les concepts anti-essentialistes de Butler sur le sexe et le genre, le tabou, les livrets de genre et la parodie, puis les éléments propres à tout acte performatif décrits par Erika Fischer-Lichte dans sa théorie de la performance : l’imprévisibilité, la perception et l’ambivalence. Pour mettre en pratique cette théorie, nous avons utilisé un corpus de littérature contemporaine argentine composé des romans Ganarse la muerte de Griselda Gambaro, El común olvido de Sylvia Molloy et “Letargo” de Perla Suez. À travers les diverses stratégies narratives utilisées par ces écrivaines, nous entreprendrons de démontrer la manière dont se performe le genre dans le roman particulièrement à travers la figure du personnage. / The concept of performativity has been developed by different approaches, ranging from speech act theory (J. L. Austin) to anthropological studies (Victor Turner), and has been considered an epistemological model known as “performative turn”. The performative theory has turned into an analytical category that aims to investigate cultural phenomena as a representation of acts and discourses, reaching its peak by gender studies as created by Judith Butler and the Performance Studies as a tool to analyze dramatic performances. However, its application to narrative phenomena has been scarce and there hardly exists any perspectives that would allow to consider gender as a performance within a novel.Based on the theory of gender performativity (Butler) and drama performance as modifiers of spectators’ realities, the present work aims in the first place to fuse both concepts and establish an epistemological framework that allows the analysis of gender performances in narrative fiction. Among these concepts the anti-essentialist ones by Butler about sex and gender, taboo, gender libretos and parody, stand out, as well as the elements of every performative act as depicted by Erika Fischer-Lichte in her theory on performance: unpredictability, perception and ambivalence.A corpus of contemporary Argentine literature was used to put into practice this theory. It consists of the novels Ganarse la muerte by Griselda Gambaro, El común olvido by Sylvia Molloy and “Letargo” by Perla Suez. The authors of these texts make use of a wide range of narrative strategies whose analysis will prove how gender is performed in novels. / La performatividad ha sido desarrollada desde la teoría de los actos de habla (J. L. Austin) hasta los estudios antropológicos (Victor Turner) hasta considerarse un modelo epistemológico conocido como giro performativo. La teoría performativa se convirtió en una categoría de análisis que pretendía estudiar los fenómenos culturales como una representación de actos y discursos, cuyo desarrollo alcanzó su cima con los estudios de género de la mano de Judith Butler y con los estudios performativos (Performance studies) como una herramienta capaz de estudiar las performances teatrales. Sin embargo, su aplicación en los fenómenos narrativos ha sido escasa y apenas se ha desarrollado un enfoque que permita contemplar el género como performance en la novela.Partiendo de la teoría de la performatividad del género (Butler) y de las performances teatrales como modificadoras de las realidades de lxs espetadorxs, este trabajo pretende, en primer lugar, aunar ambos conceptos y establecer un marco epistemológico que permita analizar la performatividad del género en la ficción narrativa. Entre ellos destacan los conceptos antiesencialistas de Butler sobre el sexo y género, el tabú, los libretos de género y la parodia, así como los elementos propios de todo acto performativo descritos por Erika Fischer-Lichte en su teoría de la performance: la imprevisibilidad, percepción y ambivalencia.Para poner en práctica esta teoría se ha utilizado un corpus de literatura contemporánea argentina compuesto por las novelas Ganarse la muerte de Griselda Gambaro, El común olvido de Sylvia Molloy y “Letargo” de Perla Suez. Las autoras de estos textos hacen uso de una diversidad de estrategias narrativas a través de las cuales se pretende demostrar cómo se performa el género en la novela, prestando especial atención al personaje.

O referencial teórico da presente pesquisa evidencia o surgimento e a expansão do gerencialismo na administração pública, efetivado por meio da Reforma do Estado, tendo como fundamentos a racionalização do trabalho e a mercantilização dos processos administrativos. É neste contexto de Reforma do Estado e de modernização da administração pública que a gestão educacional de São Paulo incorpora mecanismos gerenciais na sua rede de ensino. Nosso percurso metodológico inicia com uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de forma a aproximar o pesquisador do objeto de estudo, identificando as referencias que fundamentam o nosso trabalho. A pesquisa bibliográfica indicou um conjunto de obras que discute a partir de diversas abordagens a influência do gerencialismo e da performatividade na educação pública brasileira, possibilitando analisar o surgimento e a expansão de modelos de administração pública embasados nestas tecnologias políticas, utilizados em vários países do mundo. O outro procedimento metodológico utilizado foi a pesquisa documental que analisou a legislação do estado de São Paulo, no que se refere às orientações fornecidas para sua rede de ensino, procurando evidenciar como os mecanismos e as estratégias relacionadas ao gerencialismo e a performatividade se incorporaram na gestão estadual paulista, reproduzindo modelos de gestão semelhantes aos utilizados pela administração empresarial. A pesquisa documental demonstrou a presença de elementos gerencialistas na gestão educacional de São Paulo, na medida em que as orientações contidas na legislação estadual estimulam a competitividade das escolas, a racionalidade na gestão, a ênfase nos resultados e a padronização do ensino. / This thesis, developed within the Postgraduate Education of the Faculty of Science and Technology of Universidade Estadual Paulista Program, Research Line "Training of education professionals, educational policies and public school" aims to analyze the influence of managerialism and performativity in education management of the state of São Paulo. The theoretical framework of this research highlights the emergence and expansion of managerialism in public administration, effective through State Reform, with the fundamentals of the job rationalization and commodification of administrative processes. It is in this context of state reform and modernization of public administration that educational management São Paulo incorporates management mechanisms in their school system. Our methodological approach starts with a literature search in order to approach the researcher of the study object, identifying the references that support our work. The literature indicated a number of works discussing from different approaches the influence of managerialism and performativity in the Brazilian public education, enabling the analysis of the emergence and expansion grounded public management models in these political technologies used in countries around the world. The other methodological procedure used was documental research that analyzed the laws of the State of São Paulo, with regard to the guidance provided for its education system, trying to show how the mechanisms and strategies related to managerialism and performativity is incorporated in the management São Paulo state, reproducing models of management similar to those used by business management. The documentary research has shown the presence of managerial elements in educational management of São Paulo, to the extent that the guidelines contained in state legislation stimulate the competitiveness of schools, rationality in management, emphasis on results and standardization of education.
