Exceptional Spaces: Essays in Performance and HistoryPaperback, 9 February 1998

Taking interdisciplinary and diverse approaches, these thirteen essays explore the multifaceted relationship between performance and history. By considering performance as both a useful frame for understanding historical practices and a mode of historical production itself - performance in history and performance as history - the contributors chart new directions in such fields as cultural studies, contemporary historiography, museum studies, and life narrative research.
