Performative Paradigms: Amplifying Research Dissemination in Education

Description

In an era inundated with information, the conventional written dissemination of research faces challenges of diminishing impact and engagement. This paper explores the transformative potential of performance as a dynamic alternative for disseminating research findings. Departing from the formulaic nature of written dissemination, performance offers a multifaceted approach that captivates audiences and fosters deeper connections with research content. Through a synthesis of interdisciplinary perspectives and case studies, this paper examines the efficacy of performance as a vehicle for knowledge dissemination in diverse academic domains. Drawing on theories from performance studies, communication, and education, it elucidates the inherent power of embodied expression and interactive engagement in conveying complex ideas. By highlighting the unique affordances of performance-based dissemination, this paper advocates for a paradigm shift in scholarly communication practices, envisioning a future where research dissemination transcends the confines of traditional written formats to embrace the transformative potential of performance art.
