ABSTRACT This study examines the near 40-year publishing history of Literature in Performance: A Journal of Literary and Performing Art (1980–1988) and Text and Performance Quarterly (1989-present) for evidence of shifting trends in performance scholarship. The history of this journal is inextricable from the development of performance studies in communication, as its changing content and structure reveal pivotal developments and “turns” in the field. We map these trends – toward literature, feminist thought, queer performance, multi/cultural performance, media, and the personal turn – before speculating about the current and future trajectories of performance studies in communication.

摘要 本研究考察了近 40 年的《表演文学：文学与表演艺术杂志》（1980-1988）和《文本与表演季刊》（1989 年至今）的出版历史，以寻找表演奖学金趋势转变的证据。该期刊的历史与传播学绩效研究的发展密不可分，因为其不断变化的内容和结构揭示了该领域的关键发展和“转折”。我们先绘制这些趋势——文学、女权主义思想、酷儿表演、多元/文化表演、媒体和个人转向——然后再推测传播中表演研究的当前和未来轨迹。
