- catalog abstract ""Creating an experimental argument for scholarly attention to performance, this book suggests that without knowing how performance creates meaning in reception, our understanding of a century where much of the political, theatrical and social action occurred between audiences and in public spaces is blunted. The focus on performance and reception offers theories on the practice of reading and the frequent use of theatrical techniques employed by authors to evoke the sensations of live performance. The author also examines the practice of collecting and the give and take of reception in the context of theories of gift exchange."--Jacket.".
