Peggy Phelan,Jill Lane: The Ends of Performance

The Ends of Performance


Description

Focusing 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. Only recently has the field given keen attention to the interpretive force and consequences of performance events, and it is these consequences that the The Ends of Performance articulates. Here performance studies illuminates the complex social and cultural formations of our time--the impact of virtual technology, the racialized discourses of legal and cultural citizenship, the impact of new medical discourses, and the medicalization of the body. 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.

In J. M. Barrie's stories, Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell, and a cast of other familiar characters embark on fantastical journeys. The famous novel Peter and Wendy (1911) tells about the "boy who never grew up" and his adventures in Neverland. The lesser-known prequel Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906) introduces Peter Pan's early years in London. Both weave a tale that is universally relatable and wildly popular with adults and children alike. Now fans of these whimsical stories can write their own way to Neverland with A Novel Journal: Peter Pan. In this unique notebook, the lines are formed by the text of these classic stories in tiny type. Aspiring writers can rehash their own adventures between the lines of their favorite characters, or they can create an entirely new tale. Packaged with a Svepa cover, brilliant endpapers, colored Snapshots Through the Year download PDF edges, and matching elastic band to close pages tight, this book is a great gift or collectible for fairy tale enthusiasts. And the compact size makes this journal easy to slip into a purse, briefcase, or backpack so you can record and revisit your thoughts on the go.
