Performance has multiple and often overlapping meanings that signify a wide variety of social behaviors. In this invitation to reflect on the power of performance; Diana Taylor explores many of its uses and iterations: artistic; economic; sexual; political; and technological performance; the performance of everyday life; and the gendered; sexed; and racialized performance of bodies. This book performs its argument. Images and texts interact to show how performance is at once a creative act; a means to comprehend power; a method of transmitting memory and identity; and a way of understanding the world.
