“A collection of essays in a variety of disciplines that confront
oppressed, marginalized, and invisible space . . . an astonishing
array of material.” —Theatre Research International The fluid
nature of performance studies and the widening embrace of the idea of
performativity have come together in Decomposition to produce a
collection 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 that a great performer took within it.
Together these essays pursue critical understandings of performance in
our postmodern world. Contributors include Philip Brett, Sue-Ellen
Case, Susan Leigh Forster, Amelia Jones, Kristine C. Kuramitsu, George
Lipsitz, Catherine Lord, Ronald Radano, Timothy D. Taylor, Jeffrey
Tobin, Deborah Wong, Elizabeth Wood, and B. J. Wray “Presents
interpretive interventions of a more localized, materially and
institutionally anchored, and ultimately more specific and powerful
nature.” —TDR/The Drama Review
