“活动路线”调查了芝加哥的赫尔豪斯定居点的文化生活，这是进步时代最重要的改革机构之一，从1889年成立到成长为一个主要的社会服务机构。这项研究特别关注表演的作用--不仅是戏剧表演，还有体育运动、儿童游戏、讲故事、节日、生活博物馆，以及日常生活中的习俗--来展示这些文化仪式如何推动船体的社会活动--房子和矛盾的车辆作为文化表达和文化同化。这开创性的书演示了如何性能分析可以作出贡献对美国改革的历史研究以及对艺术和社会变革的批判性探究。她通过将赫尔之家解释为酷儿亲属关系和另类性别表演的领域，发展了表演性和性别/性别差异之间的联系。“活动路线”也涉及到关于历史再现的性质以及“理论”在历史写作中的作用的各种争论。随着“行为史学”的概念越来越流行，杰克逊的研究揭示了这种学术趋势的性别政治。通过选择“进步时代”和“船体之家”作为研究的舞台，杰克逊突出了过去关于中立性、实用主义、跨国主义和环保主义的话语是如何包含以表演为中心的身份、空间和社区概念的。通过这些和其他的论点，“活动线”揭示了一个历史的船体屋性能和性能的船体屋历史之间的密切联系。香农杰克逊是助理教授修辞和戏剧艺术与舞蹈，加州大学伯克利分校。
"Lines of Activity" investigates the cultural life of the Hull-House Settlement of Chicago, one of the most significant reform institutions of the Progressive Era, from its founding in 1889 through its growth into a major social service institution. The study focuses specifically on the role of performance--not only theatrical representation, but also athletics, children's games, story-telling, festivals, living museums, and the practices of everyday life--to demonstrate how such cultural rituals could propel social activism at Hull-House and paradoxically serve as vehicles for both cultural expression and cultural assimilation.This groundbreaking book demonstrates how performance analysis can contribute to the historical study of American reform as well as to critical inquiry on the arts and social change. She develops connections between performativity and sex/gender difference by interpreting Hull-House as a sphere of queer kinship and alternative gender performance. "Lines of Activity" also engages a variety of debates on the nature of historical representation, and the role of "theory" in historical writing.As the notion of "performance historiography" gains currency, Jackson's study exposes the gender politics of such scholarly trends. By selecting the Progressive Era and Hull-House as arenas of inquiry, Jackson foregrounds how past discourses of domesticity, pragmatism, transnationalism, and environmentalism already contain performance-centered notions of identity, space, and community. Through these and other arguments, "Lines of Activity" reveals the intimate connection between a history of Hull-House performance and the performance of Hull-House history.Shannon Jackson is Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and of Dramatic Art and Dance, University of California, Berkeley.
