Theories of Performance: Critical and Primary Sources offers a
comprehensive collection of key writings on a subject which has
come to permeate fields as diverse as theatre, comparative
literature, philosophy, law, history, English, and science and
technology studies, in what has been termed the transdisciplinary
'performative turn'. The collected essays draw upon writing from
these diverse disciplines - and more - together illustrating how
performance has become an ever more vibrant and plastic discursive
practice. It includes a wide range of historical and more
contemporary perspectives from the northern and southern
hemispheres, with writing drawn from South and Southeast Asia, East
Asia, Europe, Russia and the post-Soviet context, the Americas,
Africa and the Caribbean. Expansive in their representation, the
four volumes address current questions of protest culture, race and
gender politics, biopolitics, indigenous studies and perspectives,
postcolonialism and decoloniality, and language/translation, among
others. Each volume is introduced by the editor and arranged
thematically, so that the development of ideas can be traced within
a theme. The set includes 90 essays covering the following major
areas: discipline, method, documentation, and body politic.
Together the four volumes of Theories of Performance present a
major scholarly resource for the field.
