Timothy Murray, Drama Trauma: Spectres of Race and Sexuality in
Performance, Video, and Art (London, Routledge, 1997).

In this engaging cross-disciplinary study Timothy Murray examines the
artistic struggle over traumatic fantasies of race, gender, sexuality and
power. Establishing a retrospective dialogue between past and present,
stage and video, _Drama Trauma_ links the impact of trauma on recent
political projects in performance and video with the spectres of difference
haunting Shakespeare's plays
With chapters on skepticism and performance, Derrida and Kristeva,
philosophical considerations of Shakespeare on film, Lyotard's differend in
video and performance, feminist video, and video in performance.
