Performance Studies: The Basics offers an overview of the multiple,
often overlapping definitions of performance, from performance art,
performance as everyday life, and rituals, to the performative
dimensions of identity, such as gender, race and sexuality. This
book defines the interdisciplinary field of performance studies as
it has evolved over the past four decades at the intersection of
academic scholarship and artistic and activist practices. It
discusses performance as an important means of communicating and of
understanding the world, highlighting its intersections with
critical theory and arguing for the importance of performance in
the study of human behaviour and social practices. Complete with a
helpful glossary and bibliography, as well as suggestions for
further reading, this book is an ideal starting point for those
studying performance studies as well as for general readers with an
interest in the subject.
