I enter the feminist debate over Orlan's work to indicate that the critics who consider the history of performance art produce more fecund discourse. At the same time, I encourage more discussion over the racial dimensions of Orlan's art, which I describe as de-colonizing her body's representation.In CopyrightFeminismPerformanceArtThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-02272007-171433/
