Description

The field of performance studies embraces performance behaviour of all kinds and in all contexts, from everyday life to high ceremony.

This volume investigates a wide range of performance behaviour - dance, ritual, conflict situation, sports, storytelling and display behaviour - in a variety of circumstances and cultures.

It considers such issues as the relationship between training and the finished performance; whether performance behaviour is universal or culturally specific; and the relationships between ritual aesthetics, popular entertainment and religion, and sports and theatre and dance.

The volume brings together essays from leading anthropologists, artists and performance theorists to provide a definitive introduction to the burgeoning field of performance studies.

It will be of value to scholars, teachers and students of anthropology, theatre, folklore, semiotics and performance studies.
