Humanitarian Performance

A reevaluation of humanitarian intervention through the lens of performance studies.  As the world is challenged by a state of constant conflict and by disasters natural and manmade, support communities endeavor through humanitarianism to overcome human suffering and help to build more peaceful and safe futures. Humanitarian Performance argues that the humanitarian project-from its history and rationale to its contemporary practice-can be productively explored through the critical lens of performance studies. Using the outpouring of international support for projects to benefit survivors of the Indian Ocean tsunami, the Kosovo War, and the War in Darfur as case studies, this timely volume explores humanitarian attention to these narratives and the stories of tragedy and survival that emerge.
