Perform or Else
This 25th anniversary edition of Perform of Else contains the original text which brings together discourses of performance studies, performance management, and technology, and provides new contextual material for contemporary readers.
In this updated edition, Jon McKenzieâs groundbreaking work is revisited with fresh perspectives and additional materials that deepen its relevance for todayâs audience. The book explores the interconnected paradigms of cultural, organisational, and technological performance, demonstrating how they collectively exert powerful and often contradictory pressures to "perform...or else." Alongside the original text, this book provides new contextual materials to update and extend the book's relevance for contemporary readers, including:
- Timothy Edkinsâ âUser Guide to Perform or Else,â offering readers a highly detailed and nuanced guide to reading the book;
- Edkinsâ interview with the author, âMaking Perform or Else,â which focuses on the origins and development of the book within the context of experimental theory and transmedia arts and activism of the 1980s and 90s
- âThe Revelations of Dr. Kx4l3ndj3râ â a short sequel to the original text.
Offering an invaluable and unique contribution to the field of performance studies, this makes for essential reading for both academics and students on Performance Studies and Performance Design courses. It would also be of interest to those in the fields of Organisational Psychology, Science and Technology Studies and Media Studies.
