Book Synopsis
Argues that Method acting’s positing of a fundamentally porous self was a source of deep anxiety in a culture focused on containment, an anxiety that left lasting traces on American drama and performance. Shonni Enelow places Method acting alongside developments in psychology and psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the politics of American, demonstrating that the subversive possibilities of the Method are inseparable from its failures.
