History, Memory, Performance is an interdisciplinary collection of
essays exploring performances of the past in a wide range of
trans-national and historical contexts. At its core are
contributions from theatre scholars and public historians
discussing how historical meaning is shaped through performance.
This text examines the life and art of those contemporary artists
who by force or by choice find themselves on other shores. It
argues that the exilic challenge enables the emigre artist to
(re)establish new artistic devices, new laws and a new language of
communication in both his everyday life and his artistic work.
This collection investigates dramatic and performative renderings
of 'America' as an exilic place particularly focusing on issues of
language, space and identity. It looks at ways in which immigrants
and outsiders are embodied in American theatre practice and
explores ways in which 'America' is staged and dramatized by
immigrants and foreigners.
