Professing Performance, first published in 2004, explores the institutional history of performance in the US academy in order to revise current debates around the role of the arts and humanities in higher education. Shannon Jackson analyses long-standing debates between the world of the scholar and the world of the artist.
Contemporary academic discourse is filled with the word "perform". Nestled among a variety of prefixes and suffixes (re-, post-, -ance, -ivity?), the term functions as a vehicle for a host of inquiries. This development is intriguing and complex for students, artists, and scholars of performance and theater. By examining the history of theater studies and related institutions and comparing the very different disciplinary interpretations and developments that led to this engagement, this study offers ways of placing performance theory and performance studies in context.
