Opening acts : performance in/as communication and cultural studies
Judith Hamera (Editor)
This book offers new, rigorous ways to analyze communication and culture through performance. It offers cutting edge readings of everyday life, space, history, and intersections of all three, using a critical performance-based approach. This book makes three contributions: it familiarizes readers with the core elements and commitments of performance-based analysis; it links performance-based analysis to theoretical and analytical perspectives in communication and cultural studies; it provides engaging examples of how to use performance as a critical tool to open up communication and culture
