Description
Marvin Carlson's Performance: A Critical Introduction is a comprehensive guide to understanding performance as a theatrical activity. First published in 1996, this third edition has been revised and updated to tackle the pressing themes and theories of our age.
The book explores how performance has been interpreted across various disciplines, from anthropology to linguistics, and its importance in shaping essential concepts of human society. It also delves into contemporary issues such as racial and ethnic performance, age and disability, participatory theatre, and identity politics.
With a fully updated bibliography and glossary, this text is an invaluable resource for students of performance studies, theatre history, and the performing and visual arts.
