Tela2019 Absolutely doing Phish scholarship is performing my phan identity within academia. Unfortunately, when I was first writing about Phish about 20 years ago, it was not really taken seriously. Now, especially since we did the conference, colleagues are very interested. It is similar with my experience doing scholarship on "nerd" theatre and performance. Within Performance Studies, performance can be defined in terms of something "on the surface of the body," but also in terms of the "performative:" a speech act that does something. Performance on stage and in every day life is showing and doing.
