Description
Herbert Blau here reflects on performance because it moved from the theatricalized activism of the sixties into the theoretical activism of the eighties. The essays theorize relatively than formulate an ideological program. Blau takes risks on the speculative fringe of thought. The Eye of Prey is created from diverse material: love and mourning, play and aging, radical feminist and homosexual discourse, the politics of representation, comedy for the reason that Absurd, Barthes and Beckett, Beckett and Derrida―a critique of certain aspects of postmodern thought and function, and particularly the ideological program of “the topic of desire.”
