Milestones in Feminist Performance (häftad, eng)

This accessible introduction challenges fixed understandings of the geographical or conceptual ‘origins’ of feminist performance, offering a fresh and open-ended guide to the moments and movements that have come to define this vital field.

Designed for weekly use on performance studies courses, each of the book’s ten chapters highlights the key works of feminist performance, including performance art, live art, body art, activism, and theatre.

These milestones are all linked to acts of rupture and political reanimation, as artists broke with dominant and understandings of gender, art, and value, that were taken to be insurmountable and static.

Milestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political and artistic development of foundational subject areas.
