Summary

"Performance as Research (PaR) is characterised by an extraordinary elasticity and interdisciplinary drive. Performance as Research: Knowledge, Methods, Impact celebrates this energy, bringing together chapters from a wide range of disciplines and eight different countries. The volume focuses explicitly on three critical, often contentious themes that run through much discussion of PaR: Knowledge - the areas and manners in which performance can generate knowledge ; Methods - methods and methodologies for approaching performance as research ; Impact - a broad understanding of the impact(s) of this form of research. These themes are framed by four essays from the book's editors, contextualising their interrelated conversations, teasing out common threads, and exploring the new questions that the contributions pose to the field of performance. As both an intervention into, and extension of, current debates, Performance as Research: Knowledge, Methods, Impact is a vital collection for any reader concerned with the nature, value and legitimacy of Performance as Research."--Cover.
