      abstract = {This book reinterprets theatricality and performativity  through a dramaturgy of texture and weaving. As cultural  metaphors, theatricality and performativity evoke practices  of seeing and doing, but also conflicting values of novelty  and normativity. With anthropologist Tim Ingold and  philosopher Stephen C. Pepper, this study explores a series  of intertwining threads, from the theatrical to the  performative: Antitheatrical (Plato, the Baroque, Michael  Fried); Pro-theatrical (directors Wagner, Fuchs, Meyerhold,  Brecht, and Brook); Dramatic (weaving memory in Shaffer's  Amadeus and Beckett's Footfalls); Efficient (from modernist  "machines for living in" to the "smart home"); Activist  (knit graffiti, clown patrols, and the Anthropo(s)cene). An  approach is developed in which 'performativity' names the  way we tacitly weave worlds and identities, variously  concealed or clarified by the step-aside tactics of  'theatricality'.},
