Example text
Even when there are no traffic lights or police officers to regulate turn-taking, drivers in most instances take turns routinely and correctly. Turn-taking also plays important roles in the law and politics: lawyers in court cases take turns in cross examining witnesses, and term-limits guarantee that the holders of political office must step aside in order that others will “have a turn” in positions of political power. Through these examples we see how the basic building block of turn-taking evolves as integral to complex collective practices within a cultural system.
However, performance style is fundamentally shaped by context; the meaning a person gives to a sound depends on the situation. If instead of being gathered around a camp fire at night out on the range the cowboys were sitting in a hotel in town, instead of thinking that the sound they heard was a bear, or a tree branch breaking, or a person calling, they might imagine the sounds to be something else completely, such as a train passing by or noise from a saloon. Thus, we can pin down the question to be addressed more precisely: how malleable is performance style?
Certain human characteristics, those that fall under the umbrella of performance capacity, are hardwired and not changed by changing circumstances. For example, if Joe has a motorcycle accident, hits his head against a lamppost, and experiences a loss of auditory capacity, this becomes part of the “fixed” characteristics of Joe. The brain injury Joe unfortunately suffered impacts his hearing in a way that falls under the umbrella of performance capacity. The meaning that Joe ascribed to his accident (“It was an act of God,” “It was bad luck,” “It was my fate,” and so on), on the other hand, concerns performance style.
