Abstract
Blame it on Mad Men. All spring—I am writing this in 2015—I’ve been hearing that long withdrawing roar, the soundtrack of the 1960s receding into history, mostly for the better it seems, at least according to television. It has also been the soundtrack to my thinking about disciplinary change in drama, theatre, and performance studies. Since the early 1970s or so, the disciplinary divisions dividing drama studies from theatre studies (once “theatre history”) and from performance studies have become increasingly porous, providing a differential leverage rather than a dividing line, when they operate at all.
