Performance Anxieties ~ Ann Pellegrini

Large soft cover
Good condition

This book explores the intersection of psychoanalysis, race, and feminist theory. The book examines how racialization is deeply embedded in psychoanalysis and modern subjectivity, rather than being incidental. Pellegrini revisits Freuds work, particularly the meaning of Jewishness in his time, to highlight how race shapes psychoanalytic thought.

The book also stages encounters between elite and popular performance textsbringing together figures like Freud, Sarah Bernhardt, and Sandra Bernhard. It reinterprets Joan Rivieres concept of masquerading women in relation to representations of strong female bodies in films like Pumping Iron II: The Women, Terminator, and Alien. Through these analyses, Pellegrini challenges the boundaries between performance and performative acts, as well as between popular and elite culture
