This book reinterprets theatricality and performativity through a dramaturgy of texture and weaving. An approach is developed in which `performativity' names the way we tacitly weave worlds and identities, variously concealed or clarified by the step-aside tactics of `theatricality'.

This book draws on the theatrical thinking of Samuel Beckett and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to propose a method for research undertaken at the borders of performance and philosophy.

This open access book discusses how citizenship is performed today, mostly through the optic of the arts, in particular the performing arts, but also from the perspective of a wide range of academic disciplines such as urbanism and media studies, cultural education and postcolonial theory.
