- Marilena Zaroulia’s Performances of Capitalism, Crises and Resistance, co-edited with Philip Hager, is a 92,000 word-length, peer-reviewed collection comprising 11 chapters. The book presents the findings of research conducted by the Inside/Outside Europe Research Network, a collective of Early Career Researchers which was set up and convened by Zaroulia with the aim of exploring how ‘crisis’ (a frequently used but rarely defined term) was framed and performed in three European capitals (London, Athens and Berlin) since the global financial collapse (2008) and the subsequent Eurozone crisis.. ,
The volume includes diverse approaches to the interconnection of crisis and performance, both as an object of study and a methodology: some chapters historicize the term ‘crisis’ and its mobilization in particular conjunctures (Weimar Germany) or in critical discourse surrounding particular theatre works (Britain’s National Theatre, the work of Rimini Protokoll). Other essays present a synchronic interpretation of the term, focusing on social movements (Occupy LSX) or quotidian performances in public spaces, developed in European locations at the turn of the 2010s. This constellation of approaches – co-curated by Zaroulia and Hager through a series of workshops and the development of a citational field that informed the structure and layout of the volume – extends existing work on performance as a form always already in crisis. By exploring how performance might resist or perpetuate logics and vocabularies of crisis, the book demonstrates how theatre and performance offer insight into demarcations and definitions of Europe and European identities in the twenty-first century. Zaroulia and Hager co-authored the 6,000-word introduction outlining the project’s main aims and relevant theoretical frameworks from performance and European studies. Zaroulia also contributed a 7,300-word chapter that addresses the ethics of representation of migrants in symbolic centres of ‘Fortress Europe’.
