Description
This volume is based on the premise that artistic performance is epistemological, a way of knowing self, culture, and other. The nine essays in this book, based on a broad range of ethnic, racial, and gender groups, share a common interest in exploring how performance reveals, shapes, and sometimes transforms personal and cultural identity. Editors Fine and Speer begin by examining the interdisciplinary roots of performance studies and the role of performance studies in the field of communication. They also discuss the power of performance to shape personal and cultural identity.
Reviews:
-
This book contains some excellent examples of new fields of narrative performance, like, for example, a storyteller as shamon, failure on the farm as performance, spinstorying as women storytelling and autobiographing as creation of the ultimate self.
