Description
Book SynopsisTaking up the work of prominent theater and performance artists,
Beyond Text reveals the audacity and beauty of avant-garde performance in print. Jennifer Buckley shows how live performance and print aesthetically revived one another during a period in which both were supposed be in a state of terminal cultural decline.
Trade ReviewBy delineating the numerous relationships print can assume to performance,
Beyond Text opens up new ways of looking at, thinking about, and appreciating familiar performance works and artists as well as some less familiar ones." - Philip Auslander, Georgia Institute of Technology
"Well researched, clearly written, engaged in current debates, and compelling in its argumentation,
Beyond Text makes an important and overdue contribution to the fields of theatre, literary, performance and cultural studies. It will also speak to art historians and design scholars and anyone interested in the history of the book as a cultural artifact." - James M. Harding, University of Maryland
