{"product_id":"time-slips-jaclyn-pryor-9780810135307","title":"Time Slips: Queer Temporalities, Contemporary Performance, and the Hole of History","description":"This bold book investigates how performance can transform the way people perceive trauma and memory, time and history. Jaclyn I. Pryor introduces the concept of \"time slips,\" moments in which past, present, and future coincide, moments that challenge American narratives of racial and sexual citizenship. \u003cbr\u003e Framing performance as a site of resistance, Pryor analyzes their own work and that of four other queer artists--Ann Carlson, Mary Ellen Strom, Peggy Shaw, and Lisa Kron--between 2001 and 2016. Pryor illuminates how each artist deploys performance as a tool to render history visible, trauma recognizable, and transformation possible by laying bare the histories and ongoing systems of violence woven deep into our society. Pryor also includes a case study that examines the challenges of teaching queer time and queer performance within the academy in what Pryor calls a post-9\/11 \"homeland\" security state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Masterfully synthesizing a wealth of research and experiences, \u003ci\u003eTime Slips\u003c\/i\u003e will interest scholars and readers in the fields of theater and performance studies, queer studies, and American studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaclyn Pryor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810135302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810135307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Jaclyn Pryor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640570368255,"sku":"9780810135307","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_584758ba-b2e7-427b-ae33-d5a30a313bb0.jpg?v=1740669980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-slips-jaclyn-pryor-9780810135307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
