“…In a number of disciplines, particularly gender theory and performance theory, there has been a revival of interest over the last ten to fifteen years in the noncognitive dimension of embodiment, partly reconfiguring what counts as thought and knowledge (cf. Butler 1993;Braidotti 1994;Huxley and Witts 1996;Carlson 1996;George 1996). In line with this theoretical turn, we can see that a common trait in many studies of different masculinities is that "the body" is generally seen as a fundamental feature in forming masculine subjectivity (cf.…”

This article draws on anthropological work among two groups of technical specialists, mechanics in Malaysia and engineers in Sweden. From a cross-cultural perspective, it focuses on and critically examines ways in which masculine bonds are mediated and communicated through interactions with machines, in particular, motorbikes and cars. In these different social settings, technologies can be understood as means of an embodied communication for forming homosocial bonds. These masculine practices continuously exclude women and perpetuate highly genderized societal spheres where men form communities based on passion for machines. Such passion involves an anthropomorphization of the man-machine relationship in which the machines are transformed into subjects in what might be termed a heterosexual, masculine, technical sociability and subjectivity.

“…Ontologically, the traditional hierarchy that privileges text over lived experience has been reversed in recent years as scrutiny increasingly falls on performance practice (George 1996). Working within academia, it is now possible to generate new theory, which can be of true practical value to artists, critics, funding bodies, and scholars in the future.…”

Toward a Grounded Dramaturgy: Using Grounded Theory to Interrogate Performance Practices in Theatre for Early Years

Research on theatre for early years is polarized, either delving deeply into an assumed but unproven dramaturgical praxis, or providing anecdotal, often contradictory diktats of limited practical use. It could be argued that no coherent dramaturgy has yet been described in a genre barely three decades old; as David Pears (1971, 29) notes, "practice nearly always comes first, and it is only later that people theorize about practice." This article explores how an early-years dramaturgy (meaning a contextual exploration of composition, whether artistic, technical, or theoretical) could be formulated from current practice by employing the grounded theory method.
