Contemporary academic discourse is filled with the word "perform." Nestled among a variety of prefixes and suffixes (re-, post-, -ance, -ivity?), the term functions as a vehicle for a host of inquiries. This development is intriguing and complex for students, artists, and scholars of performance and theater. By examining the history of theater studies and related institutions and comparing the very different disciplinary interpretations and developments that led to this engagement, this study offers ways of placing performance theory and performance studies in context.

Autorenporträt
Shannon Jackson is a mixed-race Canadian insomniac who hates winter and watches far too many movies. A hermit and sarcastic curmudgeon, Shannon strongly prefers the company of bunnies to that of other humans, writes stories to entertain imaginary friends, and predicts we will be the primary cause of the inevitable downfall of our species long before our robot overlords can unite and begin their revolt.
