    Dramaturgies of Climate Crisis
    Wyatt, D ; Pfefferkorn, J (IATC, 2023)
    How is contemporary Australian performance responding to the climate crisis and what does this work teach us about inhabiting an emergent reality that is, as Timothy Morton has observed, “much larger, and more intractable, than we had supposed”? Drawing upon Marianne Van Kerkhoven’s “dramaturgy of the spectator” and the “oceanic dramaturgy” of Pacific Island performance (Hannah et al.), this article examines the Refuge art program, a six-year experiment in participatory performance and emergency preparedness that took place in Naarm/Melbourne between 2016–21. The dramaturgy of Refuge was based upon forging connections between communities, knowledges and practices not normally brought together. These interconnections made the reality of climate crisis apparent in new ways, as well as opening navigational pathways where others have seen only dead ends.

    Media Comforts and International Student Mobility: Managing Hopes, Host and Home
    Dwyer, T ; Kanai, A ; Pfefferkorn, J ; Fan, J ; Lambert, A (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021-07-04)
    This paper underlines the importance of emotional and physical anchoring within international student experiences of dislocation, migration and place, noting the complex role of various media in situating students as at ‘home’ and/or ‘here’. Growth in the transnational mobility of international students is transforming infrastructures across ‘host countries’ globally. Yet, in these significant transformations, we are yet to fully understand how international students negotiate a sense of place and ontological security (Giddens 1991). Based on a qualitative study involving over 270 students at a large public university in Australia, this paper examines the everyday practices and negotiation of ‘feeling rules’ (Hochschild 1983) of mainly Chinese international students around the rhythms and connections of digital and legacy media. Our findings suggest international students navigate a central structural tension: seeking out affective security and insulation from the risks of mobility, while continually being encouraged to push beyond their comfort zone.
