Peggy Phelan is an American feminist scholar, one of the founders of Performance Studies International,[1] and was chair of New York University's Department of Performance Studies from 1993 to 1996 and Stanford's Theatre and Performance Studies Department (then called the Drama Department) from 2007-2011. She is also the author of Unmarked (1993),[2] Mourning Sex (1997)[3] and Art and Feminism (2001).[4] She wrote the influential essay on Pipilotti Rist for the Phaidon catalog on Rist. She co-edited Acting Out: Feminist Performances; and the Ends of Performance. She edited, Live Art in LA.
Phelan's work is primarily concerned with the investigation of performance as a live event. She argued that the ephemerality of performance is crucial to its force. While most of her initial work was rooted in feminist post-structuralism and psychoanalysis, her more recent work is concerned with media, photography, and visual arts. She has written on the selfie, and on Reagan and Warhol.
