Abstract

In moments of crisis, performance becomes a tool for claiming or reclaiming citizenship. Citizens creatively construct their identities in relation to official expectations and the existing potential for innovation. This essay examines a citizenship crisis in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and the use of performance to reclaim a New Orleans locality. Looking at the Louisiana Superdome as a citizenship site during and after the storm, this essay explores the personal embodiments of New Orleanians as defiant claims to citizenship.
