Description

This book is not meant to be a definitive study of feminist performance criticism.Rather. In some ways, it is a historical accounting of the differentmethodological and ideological pathways this criticism Has taken over the lasttwenty-odd years. illustrated here by critical case studies. I do not mean toneutralize my own critical stance by that caveat; the following pages should beclearly understood as representing my own methodological and ideologial positionas a materialist feminist critic.The book is organized as a series of essays that refract around the centraltopic. which is detailed in chapter I. Taken together, the essays should providea cumulative effect, rather than a necessarily linear one. The last chapter,however. does represent work that I feel is the most stimulating and provocativeof contemporary feminist performance criticism.
