The fluid nature of performance studies and the widening embrace of
the idea of performativity has produced in this volume a collection
of great interest that crosses disciplinary lines of academic work.
The essays move from the local to the global, from history to
sport, from body parts to stage productions, and from race
relations to global politics. In the title essay, Elizabeth Wood
writes about a basic human relation cast around the question of
performance and triangulated by the role a great performer took
within it. In this unnatural act of somatic and sonic decomposition
of the maternal body's soundscape, "she seeks to liberate herself
and us from the last refuge of patriarchal order and compulsory
heterosexuality, the subordinating myth of maternal omnipotence.
The decomposition of such myths is a binding force in this volume.
Together these essays pursue critical understanding of performance
in our post-modern world, embodying perspectives that help us
understand the historical and cultural issues that underpin it".
