Theories of Performance by Elizabeth Bell
Invites students to explore the possibilities of performance for creating, knowing, and staking claims to the world. This book surveys, explains, and illustrates classic, modern, and postmodern theories that answer the questions, What is performance? Why do people perform? And how does performance constitute our social and political worlds?
Beautifully designed for an undergraduate audience in both content and layout-- Caren Neile
