& isn’t that / what you paid for? isn’t that what you came to see? / a god, on loop, failing?

Day 4: As Performance and Ethnography
This week, we discovered how, under the lens of Performance Studies, most anything can be described “as” performance. We also talked about the process of creating an ethnography of performance. We had an activity of going out on our own and compiling ethnographic field notes on first, a given spot on campus (I did the Founder’s Garden), and then on a ritualized space (I did the Universal Unitarian Fellowship of Athens). This week was fun and eye-opening for me.
This blog is an effort to examine the phenomenon of Christmastime “as” performance!
