Overview
In these eight essays, contributors examine the links between identity and performance, in which becoming the subject is defined more by what one does than by what one is. Topics include the political potential of performance in Christophe Schlingensief's electioneering circus, performance acts in Medea and Dogville and the sense of realis, the work of Sam Saif's and Phie Ambo's Family, performance in two Danish photo books from the 1970s, the work of Hayley Newman and Tanja Ostojic, performance in installation art, Gertrude Stein's performance aesthetics, and the nature of role- playing.
