"Cruising the Performative" explores those social codes that regulate performativity, that constitutes 'performance' and 'performer.' These essays offer expansive new concepts of performance: Ellen Brinks on issues of class identity acted out in the film "Single White Female"; Cynthia Fuchs on the cultural anxieties over race and sex embodied in Michael Jackson; Ellis Hanson on our modern obsession with the telephone; Ricardo Ortiz staging an alternative reading of John Rechy's 'pornographic' textual effects; and Richard Rambuss on the homodevotional orientation of metaphysical poetry. Essays on 'inter-national' subjects include Katrin Sieg on the socialist and anti-class ideology that enforced homophobia in the German Democratic Republic; Parama Roy's analysis of the gender politics of 'master' and 'disciple'; Marta Savigliano's tango with postmodernist strategies exported to the 'Third World'; and Jennifer DeVere Brody on ethnic and sexual 'passing.' Essays on notions of community and performance include Brian Currid on the 'house music' of gay bars; Michael Davidson on the Black Mountain poetry movement and its exclusion of gays and women; Jane C. Desmond on Sea World's Shamu; and Michael McClellan on elephants and musical performance during the French Revolution. This collection crosses the boundaries set by cultural practice around performance, addressing issues of communal identity, its fragility and transitoriness, as well as its endurance.

The Domain-Matrix: Performing Lesbian at the End of Print Culture (Theories of Representation and Difference)

"This book demonstrates Case's continued dominance of the field of lesbian performance studies.... Case's dense, rich, and complex work very likely will be a central text for anyone interested in debating the changing theoretical landscape for performance studies and queer theory. All readers interested in what the future might hold for scholarship in the humanities should study Case's thought-provoking work, which is an essential addition to any college or university's collection." ―Choice
"... this is a book that is enormously provocative, that will make you think and feel connected with the latest speculation on the implications of the electronic age we inhabit." ―Lesbian Review of Books
"... definitely required reading for any future-thinking lesbian." ―Lambda Book Report
The Domain-Matrix is about the passage from print culture to electronic screen culture and how this passage affects the reader or computer user. Sections are organized to emulate, in a printed book, the reader's experience of computer windows. Case traces the portrait of virtual identities within queer and lesbian critical practice and virtual technologies.

"The Domain-Matrix" is about the passage from print culture to electronic screen culture, and how this passage affects the reader or computer user. Sections are organized to emulate, in a printed book, the reader's experience of computer windows. Case traces the portrait of virtual identities within queer and lesbian critical practice and virtual technologies. The book poses several key questions: how do the competing orders of print and the screen situate the body? How do treat notions of the "live"? Written to encourage a reading strategy somewhere between print and hypertext, the book is divided into sections which prompt the reader to link them in non-sequential orders.

Performing Science and the Virtual

This impressive new book from Sue-Ellen Case looks at how science has been performed throughout history, tracing a line from nineteenth century alchemy to the twenty-first century virtual avatar. In this bold and wide-ranging book that is written using a crossbreed of styles, we encounter a glance of Edison in his laboratory, enter the soundscape of John Cage and raid tombs with Lara Croft. Case looks at the intersection of science and performance, the academic treatment of classical plays and internet-like bytes on contemporary issues and experiments where the array of performances include: <ul>
<li>electronic music</li> <li>Sun Ra, the jazz musician </li> <li>the recursive play of tape from Samuel Beckett to Pauline Oliveros</li>
</ul>
Performing Science and the Virtual reviews how well these performances borrow from spiritualist notions of transcendence, as well as the social codes of race, gender and economic exchange. This book will appeal to academics and graduates studying theatre and performance studies, cultural studies and philosophy.
