| Conference Overview |
|
Over the last generation there has been a mandate to historicize in performance studies, but much of it has been undertaken through a revisionist or quasi-Marxist model filtered through psychoanalysis, feminism, and queer theory. This conference will examine alternative views of history, with foremost scholars in performance studies addressing a multiplicity of issues, including the long distrust of the theater itself in the canonical drama. Modern Language Quarterly will be publishing a collection of essays from the conference.
