Performance in Popular Culture delves into the intricate relationship between performance and popular culture, shedding light on how theatrical conventions and dramaturgical tropes have shaped the construction of the social for widespread consumption. Presented as a series of compelling case studies, this book explores diverse ways in which the social is imagined and produced through live performances, mediated presentations, visual media, interactive experiences, and cultural institutions. By examining performance in popular culture, we gain a deeper understanding of the world around us, making it more accessible for investigation and potential transformation.

This multidisciplinary exploration encompasses performance, theatre, cultural studies, comparative literature, media studies, gender and sexuality, critical race and post-colonial theories. The case studies, designed with accessibility in mind, utilize visual materials, moving images, and readily available texts to engage lecturers, students, scholars, and the broader public.

Through its comprehensive analysis, Performance in Popular Culture offers a rich tapestry of insights into the ways in which performance shapes and reflects societal norms, values, and identities. It challenges us to think critically about the power of performance in shaping our perceptions and understanding of the world, and encourages us to explore new avenues for artistic expression and social change.
