Precisely because Performance Studies as a field of study increasingly enshrined in the international academe has its roots elsewhere in the West, Field Scan is also a tactical gesture to deliberately find out how Filipino scholar-researchers and artists have organically developed methods to study and evolve grassroots practices, as well as possibly find how the knowledge produced thus far could be evoked in ongoing global conversations about what constitutes performance and how and why performance research could even be more critically sharpened. It is in this light that we invite 250-word abstracts for email submission to [email protected] by November 30, 2014. The abstracts may refer to analytical presentations of specific artistic/ research projects or be carefully considered attempts to critique or invoke disciplinal and interdisciplinal frameworks that have influenced the ways in which we have applied the tropes of performativity and Filipino allied variants such as tanghal, palabas and danas to bring about deeper and more productive engagements with performance, its agents, publics and other invested agencies. Please note that selected presentations from Field Scan would also be taken for consideration in the upcoming Sa Tagilid na Yuta/On Tilted Earth: Performance, Disaster, and Resilience in Archipelagic Space conference which is the Philippine cluster project for Performance Studies international 2015 to be held at De La Salle University and UP Diliman in November 2015. The CFP for that conference may be found here: http://fluidstates.org/article.php?id=62. For Field Scan in UP Diliman (April 2015), the following are the proposed sub-themes: 1. Performance and Language-in relation to the language and methods of performance studies as presently constituted; what vocabularies/structures of thought are we bringing to bear on the analysis of the making and experiencing of performance from the Philippines?; what are the cognitive modalities invoked-- including and apart from performance studies intersections with the study and practices of history, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, art studies as it converses with forms such as film, music, theater, dance/movement studies, visual arts; 2. Conceptualizing performance-what are the various theoretical and practical constructs that currently operate in the fields of performance practice and performance research? How do we presently evolve parameters of study and practice? What challenges and proposed solutions are we circulating in the field of the moment/contemporary practice and research? 3. Directions in Philippine performance research-what areas of study as well as new territories are scholar-researchers-artists presently activating in their work? What convergences and divergences are arising in this modest survey of individuated attempts at critical inquiry and practice?
