III. Criticism: Some things to think about...

Ten questions with many possible answers:

1. What is the difference between reusing and recycling? (just a warmup...)
   
2. What is a border? Who draws the line?
3. Is it possible to open up an 'empty space' or 'de-militarized zone'? (Foucault)
   
4. What is the step between issuing 'irritating questions' and developing witnesses (Etchels)? Is the psychic sedimentation enough?
   
5. Do performance artists dismantle or legitimize authority by antagonizing it?
6. How can we talk about the underdog without fixing them in a representation or trying to speak for them?
   
7. What is the limit? What would be a desirable ethics to deal with risk?
8. How is the 'embodied theory' 'embroided with language-based knowledge' (Taylor)?
9. How can we chacracterize that 'space between acting and being oneself?
10. Is there not a risk of the seemingly 'anti-burgeois' performance-art of becoming utterly burgeois?

Other things to think about and discuss:

• Is there such a thing as a natural body?
• What is tradition? Is it homogeneous?
• Who is 'I'? Where do we find it?
• What could one say of the relationship between 'fictional' and real centers?
