This book considers scientific performances across two centuries, from the early nineteenth century to the present day. 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.

Pressezitat
“Staging Science is able to offer up-to-date work for those who are already active in the field of science and performance. But the collection is also an excellent resource for those who are new to the topic. The fact that all of the contributors are experts in their fields, and that the chapters are accompanied by comprehensive bibliographies, also makes the volume an ideal entry into interdisciplinary science studies.” (Sarah Hanks, The British Society for Literature and Science, bsls.ac.uk, November, 2016)
