Performance Research: On Cooking

This issue looks at food in performance and food as performance art; the performative in cookery and its staging in the kitchen and at the table. The articles give testament to the theatricality of food and speculate on food as a model for theatre; multi-sensory, processual and communal. Among the articles are Barbara Kirschenblatt-Gimblett's "Alimentary Canal"; Joanne Finkelstein's "Chic Food"; Darra Goldstein on mealtime extravaganzas in 19th century Russia; Jeremy MacClancy's "Futurist Food" and much more.
