This book considers scientific performances across two centuries,
from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Performances
include demonstrations of technologies, experiments that look like
theatre, theatre that looks like science, tourist representations
and natural history film-making. Its key aim is to open debate on
how scientific activity, both historical and contemporary, might be
understood in the context of performance studies and the
imaginative acts required to stage engaging performances.
Scientific performances have become increasingly of interest to
historians of science, literature and science scholars, and in the
field of science studies. As yet, however, no work has sought to
examine a range of scientific performances with the aim of
interrogating and illuminating the kinds of critical and
theoretical practices that might be employed to engage with them.
With scientific performance likely to become ever more central to
scholarly study in the next few years this volume offer a timely,
and early, intervention in the existing debates, and aims, too, to
be a touchstone for future work.
