• The "Introduction" (by Judith Hamera) offers an overview of performance and performativity as analytical tropes in critical inquiry, focusing particularly on the past twenty years of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences; it orients the scholar and student who may not be familiar with performance theory to its critical possibilities, its intellectual antecedents and commitments. The "Introduction" specifically links performance theory to current perspectives in communication and cultural studies, forging epistemological and methodological connections between these disciplines.

• Each of the five sections—"Engaging the Everyday", "Animating Locations", "Interrogating Histories", "Synthesizing Scholarship", and Embracing Performances—opens with a brief overview of the topic. The emphasis here is on texts and arguments in communication and cultural studies that call for and demonstrate the use of performance to critically engage the subject matter across the humanities and social sciences. The goal is to set the essays that follow into an intellectual context that demonstrates two things: (1) performance is clearly useful as a method of data collection and trope for analysis in the topic area and (2) the essays that follow are models of the kind of concerns extant in communication and cultural studies.

• The contributors represent some of the top scholars working in the discipline: Dwight Conquergood, Judith Hamera, Leonard Clyde Hawes, Bryant K. Alexander, Sonja Arsham Kuftinec, Michael Bowman, Ruth Laurion Bowman, Paul Edwards, and D. Soyini Madison.
