Thisthesis arose from a concern with the construction and manifestation of identity inperformance art, particularly the articulation ofconcepts of identity within the realm ofdiscourses, e.g. scripts, verbal and writtendiscourses by artists as wellas actual performances.Identity in performance is understood mainly as an ideological construction which istypical ofrecent political performances. The thrust of this research is that concepts of identityin performance have other not so explicit articulations andin somecasesthey are unconsciousconstructions. Theories and histories of performance haveneglected the occurrence of moresubtle processes of identity conception in performance discourses andare unable to explainandinclude those constructions.By means of discourse analysis, this thesis presents two interconnected strands. Thefirst is a review of early 20th century performative works as well as 1960's and 1970'sperformance art works, in an attemptto showthat these workswere also engaged in identityconstruction. The second approach is empirical and comprises interviews with performanceartists, as well as analyses ofpieces ofperformance.The findings haverevealed that works of the past were engaged in identityconceptualisation as much as current pieces. This conceptualisation is made throughpatternsof specific conceptual frameworks and characterise political, carnivalesque, spontaneous,unconscious, standardised, celebratory and educational identities. In the kernel ofidentityconceptualisation in performance, liesconcepts that relateto an idea of essentiality,authenticity, authority, access and revelations about the self.Theunderstanding of performance's identity concepts presented here contribute to amoreinclusive theoryand history of performance. It calls attention to the fact that inperformance art an intense exercise of identity construction is possible, because in this artgenrethe physicality of the artist.is more emphasised than in other art forms
