Performing Difference is a compilation of seventeen essays from
some of the leading scholars in history, criticism, film, and
theater studies. Each author examines the portrayal of groups and
individuals that have been traditionally marginalized or excluded
from dominant historical narratives. As a meeting point of several
fields of study, this book is organized around three meta-themes:
race, gender, and genocide. Included are analyses of films and
theatrical productions from the United States, as well as essays on
cinema from Southern and Central America, Europe, and the Middle
East. Topically, the contributing authors write about the depiction
of race, ethnicities, gender and sexual orientation, and genocides.
This volume assesses how the performing arts have aided in the
social construction of the "other" in differing contexts. Its
fundamental premise is that performance is powerful, and its
unifying thesis is that the arts remain a major forum for advancing
a more nuanced and humane vision of social outcasts, not only in
the realm of national imaginations, but in social relations as
well.
