      abstract = {This book presents interwoven interdisciplinary essays on  the role of performance as inscribed within contemporary  cultural debate. Part One addresses the recent cultural  turn in scholarship and public affairs and offers three  provocative discussions of its genealogy, goals, and  shortcomings. Underpinning these arguments are the key  dramatic elements of language, performativity, and  spectacle. Part Two stresses the constitutive roles of  scene and setting, melodrama, and tragic conflict for  literary theory, political thought, and dialectical  philosophy, each with direct bearings on contemporary  cultural studies. Parts Three and Four turn to the  intellectual and cultural significance of specific plays in  the Western repertoire.},
