Includes bibliographical references and index.

The performing subject: identity and representation in the modern and the postmodern eras -- Dancing with the Sun King: the performance of privilege in the reign of Louis XIV -- "Snip snip here, snip snip there, and a couple of tra-la-la's": the rise and fall of the castrato singer -- Liberty, equality, festivity: citizen action and the libratory legacy of the French Revolution -- Smoke andmirrors: the hysterical womanfrom Zola to Freud -- Communism: coming to a screen near you! Benjamin,Adorno, and the politics of mediatization -- Conclusion: queer horizons--postmodern performativityand political action.

This book investigates the shifting relationship between performanceand subjectivity over thecourse of the Modern era. Each chapter details a different set of performance strategies designed togrant the subject a stable sense of self-identity, and each explores the fallout fromthe ultimate failure of these strategies to offer the subject a fixed and enduring image of itself. The conclusionexamines the implications of this failure for new Postmodern conceptions of subjectivity and posesquestions about the use of performance in the self-fashioning of future generations.
