From the age of Aristotle to the age of AIDS; writers; thinkers; performers and activists have wresteled with what "performance" is all about. At the same moment; "performativity"--a new concept in language theory--has become a ubiquitous term in literary studies. This volume grapples with the nature of these two key terms whose traces can be found everywhere: in the theatre; in the streets; in philosophy; in questions of race and gender; and in the sentences we speak.

I highly recommend this beautiful book for anyone who loves great family ...By TeppyMelissa Beck has done an outstanding job of collecting rare family images and stories to help paint a picture of the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Her book provides a glimpse of the tough families that worked the farms and mines of the CopperHill/McCaysville area through the last 150 years. Some of the stories that go with the these rare family images are emotional and powerful. Believe me; get your tissue boxes ready. My family is especially proud to have our Burger; Hill and Panter family images and stories in print so that future generations can appreciate their sacrifice. I highly recommend this beautiful book for anyone who loves great family stories; classic trains; breathtaking images; and a look back when that American spirit still shaped our country.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
