Performing Culture presents a detailed and probing account of cultural studies' changing fixations with theory, method, policy, text, production, audience and the micro-politics of the everyday.John Tulloch encourages academics and students to take seriously the need to break down the separation between high and low cultural studies.

Drawing upon anthropological and dramatic studies of performance, the book emphasizes that academic research also performs cultural meaning.
