Patrick Duggan's research interests lie in critical approaches to contemporary performance and the relationship between performance and the wider socio-cultural and political contexts in which it is made. He has recently published a monograph investigating the relationship between contemporary performance and trauma and his continuing research examines the relationship between cultural products and practices and their wider social contexts. Engaging with poststructuralist and political philosophy, Duggan's research is interdisciplinary in nature and particularly focused on questions of spectatorship, witnessing, trauma and ethics and is concerned to explore the socio-political efficacy of theatre, performance and other cultural practices.
