To many an appalling but titillating spectacle, the Wilde trials also represent an important moment in the history of modern male homosexuality, providing for historians a marker to locate the emergence of a distinct homosexual identity. In fact, the trials are often implicitly credited as the event where the Homosexual emerged as a social subject.' That the homosexual in question was a brilliant and controversial society dramatist who satirically fetishized society, and who fostered his own popular fetishization, only added to the irony and insidiousness of his persona. However, Wilde was not an ideal gay figure. Writing in 19o8 in his apologetic case studies about contemporary homosexuals-or \"Uranians,\" as he calls them-Xavier Mayne disputes the validity of the \"exaggerated personal cult for Wilde\" that he observed among English homosexuals:","PeriodicalId":85611,"journal":{"name":"TDR news","volume":"13 1","pages":"37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90293019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As director of play development at Crossroads Theatre Company, she celebrates the art of African American theatre, bringing untold stories to the stage. Her vision-which embraces the artistic world as a \"sacred space\"-lands like a meteorite in a dream. Braiding together political analysis, metaphysics, history, and heartache, Mahone is both iconoclast and wisdomkeeper. As dramaturg, educator, and poet, she has shed an illuminating and glaring light on racism in the artworld, championed the black, female voice as \"archeologist of spirit and psyche\"; and confronted the unknown destination and survival of contemporary theatre in America. For Mahone, her search has always been for theatrical images that express the soul's journey and faith to engrave the undecipherable cry in the dark. A native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, Mahone attended Kemper Hall, an all-girl prep school, where she was introduced to Shakespeare and the classics. \"I remember reading Peter Brook's The Empty Space in high school and being fascinated by theory,\" recollected Mahone:","PeriodicalId":85611,"journal":{"name":"TDR news","volume":"47 1","pages":"119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73247774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I offer the following principle more as a catalyst for opening conversation than a proposition for closing down controversy. The starting point for discussion that I affirm is this: Performance is an essentially contested concept. I borrow this idea from Strine, Long, and Hopkins' fine metadisciplinary essay, \"Research in Interpretation and Performance Studies: Trends, Issues, Priorities\" (I99o).' Thinking about performance as an \"essentially contested concept\" locates disagreement and difference as generative points of departure and coalition for its unfolding meanings and affiliations.

Or, at least, that is how it seems in the aftermath of the First Annual Performance Studies Conference amidst many of the groundless complaints and inaccurate claims lodged against its \"stars.\" Having stated this, I realize that it may be viewed as incredibly impudent for me as a PhD candidate to offer personal views about the conference in particular and performance studies in general, but I am willing to take the risk. On the one hand, I can only hope that the voices of graduate students will not be dismissed too readily since so many of us did take part in the organization and in the actual running of the conference. On the other hand, after hearing and reading some of the remarks made by other graduate students about the conference, I can now better understand why our comments and input have hitherto been taken with so many grains of salt. First of all, who were these so-called \"stars\" of the conference? Given the subsequent comments and gossip about the conference posted between 2-6 April 1995 on WTP-L, an electronic conference for the study of women in theatre and performance, and perform-1, the electronic newsgroup devoted to performance studies, star quality within the performance studies community has less to do with either star appeal or performance than it does with perceptions of who wields power and control. As a result, the post facto designated stars were not so much the cabaret performers-most of them local performance artists with the notable exception of Guillermo G6mez-Pefia-as much as those presumed to have a lock on both \"authority\" and \"power.\"' Granted, the accusations against certain individuals were to some degree expected if not unavoidable given their positions vis-a-vis the conference and/ or performance studies as a whole. Others were not. Orlan, a French professor of art and a multimedia performance artist, better known in Europe than in the United States, became the focus of much scrutiny and controversy. A bit of this spilled over, bizarrely enough, to her two unknown and therefore nameless graduate-student \"translators\"-no doubt due to their proximity to her \"presence\" and \"aura.\" As one of these two obscure translators, and also as the organizer of the panel on which Orlan spoke, I wish to give my take not only on Orlan's presence at the conference but also on the subsequent heated E-mail discussions in which I became a reluctant-and, as one commentator on the WTP-L list put it, \"hostile\"-interlocutor.
