Simon Frith (ed)
Staged
performance is idealised performance and the articles in this issue (which
range from the 1950s British stage musical to contemporary Turkish arabesk;
from the concert hall concept of perfection to the TV studio treatment of
banality) explore how the ideal of performance is realised - at specific
moments, in particular political circumstances, through different historical
memories and desires.
