The book compiles articles on the broadly understood topic of performance and performativity in the English-speaking culture(s). As performativity of culture is not a new scholarly concern, this book's primary task is to test its contemporary value. Accordingly, the volume offers perspectives on how, in this day and age, to apply performance as a culture-making practice; and, if the application seems limited, how to reinvent the idea of performance so that it turns culturally operative again?
