WELCOME TO AH 5560 PERFORMANCE ART IN THE BLACK ATLANTIC BLOG!!!

During the semester, we will use a blog created especially for this course to help us think through and better engage with the reading material. The blog address is WSU2015performanceblackatlantic.blogspot.com. Students are expected to submit one (1) entry of 250 words per week. The entries are due every Sunday at the beginning of each week by 12 midnight. Entries should pertain to the readings and/or performance of that given week, and will be used to aid in the discussion of the readings.

They should 1) address a specific aspect of the reading or performance that you find intriguing or even puzzling. Entries are also opportunities for you to offer questions that you may have about the readings or performance. 2) Your blog entries should also link the readings to previous readings. This would be useful as you further develop your knowledge of performance art and for our overall investigation of the usefulness of performance art for cultural, social and political purposes.

Each student’s entry must be original in its conception and should include citations when referring to the readings. Responding to other entries is strongly encouraged but it should not be the basis of your entry.
