This book brings together a distinguished group of scholars from
music, drama, poetry, performance art, religion, classics and
philosophy to investigate the complex and developing interaction
between performance and authenticity in the arts. The volume begins
with a perspective on traditional understandings of that relation,
examining the crucial role of performance in the Poetics, the
marriage of art with religion, the experiences of religious and
aesthetic authenticity, and modernist conceptions of authenticity.
Several essays then consider music as a performative art. The final
essays discuss the link of authenticity to sincerity and truth in
poetry, explain how performance, as an authentic feature of poetry,
embodies a collective effort, and culminate in a discussion of the
dark side of performance - its constant susceptibility to
inauthenticity. Together the essays suggest how issues of
performance and authenticity enter into consideration of a wide
range of the arts.
