Performance models have received increasing attention in the
theoretical move towards open texts. Conceptions of open,
reader-based or audience-based texts have paralleled the
questioning of rational, authority-driven modes of knowledge.
Literary theory's stress on performance leads back, paradoxically,
to the exploration of practical knowledge. This volume contains the
annual bibliography of comparative literature for the year 1989. It
contains numerous intriguing articles. Michael Robinson's leading
article examines the mutually defining properties of (female)
gender and performance in the nineteenth century, whilst Drew Milne
examines the challenge to Aristotle's theory of tragedy made by
Augusto Boal's 'Theatre of the Oppressed' in Latin America. A rich
variety of performance media and genres is presented in this
volume. The important Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov is being
performed again in new productions in Russia; Lesley Milne reports
on The White Guard in Moscow and Kiev, and Patrick Miles translates
the previously censored scenes of the play.
