In this invitation to reflect on the power of performance, Diana Taylor explores many of its uses and iterations: artistic, economic, sexual, political, and technological performance; the performance of everyday life; and the gendered, sexed, and racialized performance of bodies. This book performs its argument. Images and texts interact to show how performance is at once a creative act, a means to comprehend power, a method of transmitting memory and identity, and a way of understanding the world.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780822359975","publication_date":"20160318","publisher":"Duke University Press","slug":"performance","subtitle":"","title":"Performance"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"PER011020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Theater History & Criticism","score":0.7246,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"PER003050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Dance Notation","score":0.7078,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"PER003100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Dance History","score":0.7072,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"PER011020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Theater History & Criticism","score":0.7246,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"PER003050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Dance Notation","score":0.7078,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"PER003100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Dance History","score":0.7072,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"ART015110","confidence_band":"high","label":"Contemporary Art History (1945-)","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"PER000000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Performing Arts","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"PER011020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Theater History & Criticism","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Theater History & Criticism","score":0.7246,"slug":"theater-history-criticism"},{"label":"Dance Notation","score":0.7078,"slug":"dance-notation"},{"label":"Dance History","score":0.7072,"slug":"dance-history"}],"reader_fit":["For readers interested in performance across artistic, political, and everyday life","For readers exploring how performance conveys power, memory, and identity"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Craig S.
