Abstract

Herbert Blau here reflects on performance as it moved from theatricalized activism of sixties into theoretical activism of eighties. The essays theorize rather than formulate an ideological program. Blau takes risks at speculative edge of thought. The Eye of Prey is comprised of diverse subject matter: love and mourning, play and aging, radical feminist and homosexual discourse, politics of representation, comedy since Absurd, Barthes and Beckett, Beckett and Derrida a critique of certain aspects of postmodern thought and performance, and in particular ideological program of the subject of desire.
