Taking interdisciplinary and diverse approaches, these thirteen
essays explore the multifaceted relationship between performance
and history. By considering performance as both a useful frame for
understanding historical practices and a mode of historical
production itself--performance "in" history and performance "as"
history--the contributors chart new directions in such fields as
cultural studies, contemporary historiography, museum studies, and
life narrative research.
Geographically and chronologically, the collection's sweep is
broad--ranging from the nineteenth century to the present, from
Victorian theater to commissions of inquiry in Kenya, from dissent
in post-Soviet Lithuania to plantation tours in the American South.
Together, the essays make up a work that is truly interdisciplinary
in breadth and focus. By combining the methodologies of history and
performance studies, the contributors illuminate the structure and
function of cultural production in all its forms.
The contributors are Michael S. Bowman, Ruth Laurion Bowman,
Elizabeth Gray Buck, Kay Ellen Capo, David William Cohen, Tracy
Davis, Kirk W. Fuoss, Shannon Jackson, D. Soyini Madison, Carol
Mavor, E. S. Atieno Odhiambo, Della Pollock, Jeffrey H. Richards,
and Joseph R. Roach.
