The paper discusses the live dance work 'Disappearing Acts (2016)' in terms of its underlying notions, themes and choreographic concerns and methodologies. The article primarily focuses on the theoretical notions or discourses tied to disappearance, namely presence and absence or performance as a 'rehearsal for absence', appearance and disappearance and in/visibility as well as discussions around representation and the material presence of the body in the context of dance performance. The writing traces the ways in which some of these ideas manifest or are interrogated in 'Disappearing Acts', and how the work may untangle or even demonstrate some of these philosophical threads rather than necessarily offering concrete theoretical conclusions. The writing also addresses the political dimension of the work as might be read by audiences less familiar or interested in the nuances of the moving body.

My aim in this article is threefold. First, to identify the function of tautology in Catholic Charismatic religious practices. Second, to analyze the formal structure of tautology as an embodied regime of citationality. Third, to expose how Charismatic practice both mirrors and anticipates the unfolding dramaturgy of sovereignty within current populism in Brazil and elsewhere. These aims converge in a reflection on the nature of political theater within and beyond political theology.

Four members of the Senate Judiciary Committee introduced the Civil Justice Reform Act Amendment Act of 1995 on February 23, 1995 as Congress was considering numerous aspects of the Contract With America, most relevantly the legal reforms in its ninth tenet. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Charles Grassley (RIowa), Chair of the Subcommittee on Courts and Administrative Practice, Senator Joseph Biden (D-Del.), the ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senator Howell Heflin (D-Ala.), former Chair of the Courts and Administrative Practice Subcommittee, sponsored the legislation. Passage of the proposal by the House of Representatives and the Senate was essentially perfunctory, and President Bill Clinton signed the measure in October. This essay briefly evaluates the new legislation in an attempt to familiarize federal court judges, attorneys and litigants as well as others who may be interested in the operations of the courts with the measure.

AbstractThis article examines a posthumous literary gathering held at the grave of eighteenth-century Persian-language poet 'Abd al-Qadir Bedil (1642–1720) in order to trace varying uses of a peculiar shrine space and its Persianate textual practices in late-Mughal Delhi. This graveside mushā'irah was a setting for the competitive exchange of poetry and one of the most well-documented gatherings of the mid-1700s. In anecdotes and verse written between 1721 and 1784, attendees at this event reveal their implicit and explicit associations between elite and nonelite classes. This article provides a genealogy of the normative literary acts and material practices at the grave. The tomb's space and its texts reveal a setting that overturns assumptions about vernacular and elite literatures, as it hosted Urdu poetry recitation and cutting-edge Persian verse as well as a medicines market and space for Sufi devotional practices, institutions with contradictory social expectations. This setting and its varied social practices provide an example of a late Mughal cultural institution formed outside of the court, which forces us to redefine precolonial forms of publicity in light of localized linguistic and social hierarchies.
