Description

Critical Theory and Performance presents a broad range of critical and theoretical methods applied to various performance genres, including stage plays, dance-dramas, performance art, cabaret, stand-up comedy, and jazz. This comprehensive introduction to critical theory's contributions to the study of drama, theater, and performance has been highly influential in providing fertile ground for academic investigations.

The book features nineteen new essays by leading scholars and practitioners, as well as new critical introductions by editors Janelle G. Reinelt and Joseph R. Roach. The revised edition reflects recent trends in performance studies, including discussions of critical race theory, postcolonial studies, gender and sexualities, and mediatized cultures.

This updated volume is a unique tool for critics, teachers, and students, paving the way for future scholarship. It provides a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the diverse contributions of critical theory to the study of drama, theater, and performance.
