Performances include demonstrations of technologies, experiments that look like theatre, theatre that looks like science, tourist representations and natural history film-making. Its key aim is to open debate on how scientific activity, both historical and contemporary, might be understood in the context of performance studies and the imaginative acts required to stage engaging performances. Scientific performances have become increasingly of interest to historians of science, literature and science scholars, and in the field of science studies. As yet, however, no work has sought to examine a range of scientific performances with the aim of interrogating and illuminating the kinds of critical and theoretical practices that might be employed to engage with them. With scientific performance likely to become ever more central to scholarly study in the next few years this volume offer a timely, and early, intervention in the existing debates, and aims, too, to be a touchstone for future work. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,$x2634-6443 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aLiterature and technology 606 $aMass media and literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aTheatre History 606 $aLiterature and Technology 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature and technology. 615 0$aMass media and literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x19th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aTheatre History. 615 24$aLiterature and Technology. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 676 $a809 702 $aWillis$b Martin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255229403321 996 $aStaging Science$92496248 997 $aUNINA
