Dr Lara Shalson is Senior Lecturer in Theatre & Performance Studies, King’s College London. She is the author of Theatre & Protest <\/em>(2017), a member of the\u00a0Performance Research Group<\/a>\u00a0at King\u2019s, and a member of the board of Performance Studies international (PSi), for which she is co-chair of the Emerging Scholars Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lara Shalson’s research is interdisciplinary both in its objects and methods of study. Focusing primarily on the period of the late 1950s to the present, she writes about a range of art forms, including theatre, performance art, live art, film, photography, and conceptual art. She is interested in the relationships between these forms as well as in the languages we use to describe them, and much of her work is concerned with investigating how the discourses coming out of theatre, performance studies, art history, and related disciplines differently frame and understand these art practices.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Shalson is additionally interested in how theories of performance can help us to understand the social world\u2014from the performativity of everyday life to the staging of particular events including political protest actions. One thing that unites her research is a concern with the politics and ethics of the relations produced by works in particular contexts\u2014whether the relations between audience and performer, viewer and artwork, or object and surrounding environment. This extends to an interest in the ethics of the critical relationship itself\u2014a concern that she has pursued in different ways in articles on the status of judgment in Jacques Derrida\u2019s \u201cForce of Law\u201d essay, and on the relationship between critics and artists in the Women\u2019s One World Festivals of the early 1980s. Dr Shalson works on and with a range of theoretical discourses including performance theory, feminist theory, queer theory, psychoanalysis, and phenomenology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
