Yet the narrative she weaves is by no means continuous or univocal. On the contrary, she carefully analyzes the many and contradictory epistemologies and institutions that have produced (and been produced by) the capacious field known as performance studies. For Jackson, crucially, performance and performance studies are not set in opposition to theatre, because she sees the latter as an instance of performance (comparable, for example, to the status of linguistics within the more comprehensive field of semiotics). In her view, performance studies and theatre must be understood within “a shared, if internally discontinuous, institutional history” (11). Although Jackson cites Foucault to theorize her genealogical approach, she is, to her credit, an unfaithful disciple. More willing than Foucault to recognize the deterministic force of institutions in the construction of epistemological formations, Jackson rigorously attends to and analyzes the material conditions that produce performance paradigms and practices.","PeriodicalId":85611,"journal":{"name":"TDR news","volume":"56 1","pages":"178-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85823318","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}

The essays in Hrotsvit of Gandersheim examine the historical, cultural, legal, and political contexts of Hrotsvit's works, locating her opus within the tenth-century aristocratic and clerical intellectual milieu. This collection contextualizes Hrotsvit's works with respect to heroic, sexual, domestic, behavioural, linguistic, theological, and hierarchical aspects of early medieval and patristic literary traditions. It also explores other literary texts that inform Hrotsvit's works and discusses the performance history and theatricality of Hrotsvit's plays. Hrotsvit's keen awareness of contemporary issues and her determination, within the parameters of monastic-aristocratic ideological constraints, to provide her readers with a rich variety of exemplary female heroes and acts of personal courage, offer twenty-first-century readers a powerful model of responsibility and agency.","PeriodicalId":85611,"journal":{"name":"TDR news","volume":"42 1","pages":"193-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85203902","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}
