The Methuen Drama Companion to Performance Art
Methuen Drama (Verlag)
978-1-350-33616-2 (ISBN)
The Companion activates an interdisciplinary perspective to better attend to performance art’s legacies and its current practices. It brings together specially commissioned essays from leading innovative scholars from a wide range of approaches including art history, visual and performance studies, dance and theatre scholarship in order to provide a non-hierarchical merging of the disciplines within and between the humanities. It provides ten methodological directions that examine possibilities of transformative change—the core of performance art’s transgressive radical legacy. The book also includes a section on new directions and resources devoted to performance art. The chapters will thus provide multifocal perspectives on recent research trends to offer an array of intertwined methodologies.
