The term performance - a temporary and active presentation, expression, or act - has a presence in all cultural media and genres, and has repercussions for taking on, experiencing, and enacting an identity as well. Performance reaches beyond theatre, ballet and music to any human behaviour that is constantly performed through personal acts that contradict stereotypes - not just with regard to gender, but equally so with regard to class and ethnicity or race. The theme Gender and Performance focuses upon the performative strength of gender through various media: feminist and political theatre, an online 'private' novel turned radio play, protest movements, internet beauty blogs, dressing and fashion and the performativity of the word slut. Gender and performativity will take the reader to the Netherlands, Austria, Canada, Mexico and the Philippines

Etnografie is traditioneel een vorm van onderzoek waarbij de onderzoeker herhaaldelijk, langdurig en intensief contact maakt met de onderzochten, en waarbij hun groepsleven, hun 'cultuur', het onderwerp is. In de oudere antropologie ging de onderzoeker voor langere tijd wonen bij de stam die hij of zij onderzocht. Men probeerde de taal te leren, niet alleen de grammatica en het lexicon, maar ook de semantiek en de metaforiek. Dat deed men via 'participerende observatie', bekijken wat mensen doen en daarover veel met ze praten. De laatste tientallen jaren zijn er allerlei variaties op die basisvorm ontwikkeld. Het 'wonen bij' wordt vaak vervangen door herhaaldelijk langskomen. Wat wordt onderzocht is vaak een subcultuur binnen de eigen globale cultuur. Dat kan een criminele leefwijze zijn of een beroepsmatig gespecialiseerde activiteit; er zijn allerlei mogelijkheden. Een van die nieuwere vormen van etnografie begint bekend te worden onder de naam 'internetetnografie', of varianten daarvan zoals online ethnography, of virtual ethnography.
