Offering an overview of the key figures, their theories and their impact, Shepherd provides a fresh approach to figures including Erving Goffman and Richard Schechner and ideas such as radical art practice, performance studies, radical scenarism and performativity. Essential reading for students, scholars and enthusiasts, this engaging account travels from universities into the streets and back again to examine performance in the context of political activists and teachers, countercultural experiments and feminist challenges, and ceremonies and demonstrations."--Provided by publisher. 000858755 650_0 $$aSocial interaction. 000858755 650_0 $$aPerformance$$xSocial aspects. 000858755 650_0 $$aActing$$xSocial aspects. 000858755 650_0 $$aPerformance art$$xSocial aspects. 000858755 830_0 $$aCambridge introductions to literature. 000858755 85200 $$bgen$$hHM1111$$i.S485$$i2016 000858755 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858755$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858755 980__ $$aBIB 000858755 980__ $$aBOOK
