Description:A broad and inclusive volume of the celebrations and critiques of performance artsFocusing on the living arts--dance, theatre, music, performance art, ritual, and popular entertainment--performance studies expands our understanding of performance as both a vital artistic practice and a means by which to understand social and cultural processes. Bridging the gap between cultural studies, performing arts, and anthropology, performance studies explores myriad ways in which performance creates meaning and shapes our everyday lives.The broadest and most inclusive volume to date, The Ends of Performance both celebrates and critiques the institutionalization of the field.

Featuring work by leading theorists such as Joseph Roach, Diana Taylor, and Richard Schechner, excursions into performative writing by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Della Pollock, and texts by performance artists Orlan and Deb Margolin, The Ends of Performance illuminates the provocative intellectual ends which motivate these varied approaches to performing writing, and to writing performance.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
