Since its original publication in 1996, Marvin Carlson's
Performance: A Critical Introduction has remained the definitive
guide to understanding performance as a theatrical activity. It is
an unparalleled exploration of the myriad ways in which performance
has been interpreted, its importance to disciplines from
anthropology to linguistics, and how it underpins essential
concepts of human society. In this comprehensively revised and
updated third edition, Carlson tackles the pressing themes and
theories of our age, with expanded coverage of : the growth and
importance of racial and ethnic performance; the emergence of
performance concerned with age and disability; the popularity and
significance of participatory and immersive theatre; the crucial
relevance of identity politics and cultural performance in the
twenty-first century. Also including a fully updated bibliography
and glossary, this classic text is an invaluable touchstone for any
student of performance studies, theatre history, and the performing
and visual arts.
