A lecture by E. Patrick Johnson
We invite students, faculty, staff, and prospective students to join the Department of Performance Studies for our annual Day of Community event! Begin the day with yoga at the Department of Cinema Studies. Then, come pamper and beautify yourself at our volunteer-run Beauty Salon and Photo Booth. After getting your beauty on, join us for a screening of Glenn Holsten's "Hollywood Beauty Salon," followed by a brief decompression and informal discussion.
At this special event, admissions representatives from multiple NYU graduate schools, centers, and institutes are on hand to talk with you about their programs and their application processes. Additionally, representatives from NYU's Office of Financial Aid and other NYU offices relevant to graduate students are available to answer questions about broader resources available at NYU.
This talk is based on the book project Intimate Relations, where Amelia Jones traces the interrelated histories of the terms “queer” and “performative” since 1950 in anglophone discourse. This genealogy suggests that the terms have deeply informed not only our thinking about queer, about performance and the performative, and about queer performance, but as well our understanding of how art works and comes to have cultural value (or not) over the past 70 years.
