Murakami's research interrogates the nexus of performance, politics, and affect in early modern England, particularly examining how theatrical forms like morality plays and Civil War-era drama cultivated political counterpublics through embodied practices. Her scholarship reveals how affective intensities—ranging from charisma to dread—were harnessed for structural political transformation, bridging literary analysis with political theory and religious studies to demonstrate performance's role in shaping collective consciousness beyond institutional frameworks.
Her publication trajectory since 2007 demonstrates consistent engagement with performance as a catalyst for political innovation, evolving from analyses of Shakespearean tragedy to investigations of radical performance in revolutionary contexts. Recent works (2021) expand this framework to non-dramatic performance and affect theory, while her 2011 monograph established foundational insights into morality plays as covert vehicles for social critique.
