Introduction to After Effects: Performing the Ends of Memory

Stephen Muecke

Abstract


I wrote to Jimmie Durham last year with a view to putting together this special issue of Performance Paradigm, and this letter is reproduced below. The idea came not only from meeting Jimmie and Maria Thereza Alves in Sydney at the time of the 2004 Sydney Biennale (as discussed in Darren Jorgensen’s contribution to this volume), but also reading his writing, which arrives in surprising ways, in emails where he tells stories you are not sure are ‘true’, to essays, to narratives and poems. Noel King has attempted to collect as many references to these writings as he could, and this bibliography follows this introduction.
