Explored as a series of five interrelated performative commitments, the author takes seriously the notion that live musical performance, especially when it is pervaded by an improvisational ethos, can be quite powerful and well worth close examination. In particular, the band Phish, with its devout subcultural following of "phans," is mined as a rich site for critical, theoretical, and descriptive fodder. The author writes as both a phan and a scholar, drawing from his own experiences seeing Phish live on many occasions as well as from an interdisciplinary body of scholarly literature. The essay provides insight not only into the Phish phenomenon but also into the intersections of performance, communication, popular music, and critical cultural studies.

This article answers Philip Auslander's call for theatre and performance scholars to take music seriously as an object of study. The study also extends that call by considering music as a performance method in experimental work. Specifically, the author offers an analysis of her own practice in a performance she created entitled "The Life and Times of King Kong" as a way to continue this conversation. Drawing on popular notions of a film's score, the author offers multiple possibilities for including original music in live performance. Given the growing accessibility and interest in digital-electronic music making, this timely article encourages others to consider including original music in their productions. It ends with a practical list of possibilities for the use of original music in live performance.

Studies about college majors largely ignore non-citizen or immigrant populations. Using the administrative data from two public universities in Texas, the author examine students' major choices by citizen status. In the context of legislation providing in-state tuition access for undocumented students (H.B. 1403, effective 2001), the author tests the effects of the policy on students' choices of major. Foreign-born populations have a higher propensity to select majors in Science, Engineering and Math (SEM) and a lower propensity to enroll in social sciences than citizens. Domestic students exhibit variable propensities to opt for SEMs, depending on their race. There is evidence of behavioral changes pre— to post—H.B. 1403, with foreign-born populations shifting away from high-return majors.

The idea that there is a moderate faction of the Taliban (from a Western liberal perspective) or that the policies of the Taliban can be moderated to support a constitutional democracy has been a persistent myth across three U.S. presidential administrations. In this article, the author examines the actual governing structure, ideology, and social networks of the Taliban explains why a discrete and ideologically identifiable moderate faction with moderate policy objectives has failed to materialize. The author concludes that the consistent dissemination of this myth despite any substantial evidence reflects the imperative to expedite an exit policy as well as the United States' limited long-term interests in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the South Asia region.

In the English constitutional tradition, subjecthood has been primarily derived from two circumstances: place of birth and time of birth. People not born in the right place and at the right time are not considered subjects. What political status they hold varies and depends largely on the political history of the territory in which they reside at the exact time of their birth. A genealogy of early modern British subjecthood reveals that law based on dates and temporal durations—what I will call collectively jus tempus—creates sovereign boundaries as powerful as territorial borders or bloodlines. This concept has myriad implications for how citizenship comes to be institutionalized in modern politics. In this article, I briefly outline one route through which jus tempus became a constitutive principle within the Anglo-American tradition of citizenship and how this concept works with other principles of membership to create subtle gradations of semi-citizenship beyond the binary of subject and alien. I illustrate two main points about jus tempus: first, how specific dates create sovereign boundaries among people and second, how durational time takes on an abstract value in politics that allows certain kinds of attributes, actions, and relationships to be translated into rights-bearing political statuses. I conclude with some remarks about how, once established, the principle of jus tempus is applied in a diverse array of political contexts.
