Description
Book SynopsisThis bold book investigates how performance can transform the way people perceive trauma and memory, time and history. Pryor introduces the concept of ""time slips,"" moments in which past, present, and future coincide, moments that challenge American narratives of racial and sexual citizenship.
Trade ReviewTime Slips balances theory and practice beautifully in a unique mode of thinking and writing. Pryor argues that performance can transform how we think about time, reminding us of the genuine change we can make through our interventions."
—Jennifer Parker-Starbuck, author of Cyborg Theatre: Corporeal/Technological Intersections in Multimedia Performance and Performance and Media: Taxonomies for a Changing Field
"A lively read, Time Slips is filled with excellent research and fascinating case studies concerned with some of the most freighted issues in contemporary politics. Time Slips will interest scholars in a number of different fields, including but not limited to theater and performance studies, gender and sexuality studies, visual studies, cultural studies, and American studies."
—Sara Warner, author of Acts of Gaiety: LGBT Performance and the Politics of Pleasure
