We invite participants to question Performance Studies as an

complicate existing critical paradigms, and to target areas
for future work. We welcome contributions which address a
wide range of issues, methodologies, and approaches in relation to
culture and performance.
 
The committee will review abstracts or, preferably, full
papers (c. 10 pages, 20 minutes); proposals for panels,
seminars, workshops, and "breakout" sessions; and performances.
Presentations which engage or critique the performance
conventions of the scholarly conference are encouraged.
 
The NYU journals TDR and Women & Performance will consider
papers for publication.
 
Registration and housing information will be mailed in January,
1995.
