The Routledge Companion to the Anthropology of Performance Synopsis

The Routledge Companion to the Anthropology of Performance provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive overview of the foundations, epistemologies, methodologies, key topics and current debates, and future directions in the field. It brings together work from the disciplines of anthropology and performance studies, as well as adjacent fields. Across 31 chapters, a diverse range of international scholars cover topics including:

  • Ritual
  • Theater
  • Storytelling
  • Music
  • Dance
  • Textiles
  • Land Acknowledgments
  • Indigenous Identity
  • Visual Arts
  • Embodiment
  • Cognition
  • Healing
  • Festivals
  • Politics
  • Activism
  • The Law
  • Race and Ethnicity
  • Gender and Sexuality
  • Class
  • Religion, Spirituality, and Faith
  • Disability
  • Leisure, Gaming, and Sport

In addition, the included Appendix offers tools, exercises, and activities designed by contributors as useful suggestions to readers, both within and beyond academic contexts, to take the insights of performance anthropology into their work. This is a valuable reference for scholars and upper-level students in anthropology, performance studies, and related disciplines, including religious studies, art, philosophy, history, political science, gender studies, and education.
