Enron Chronology at http://cbae.nmsu.edu/~dboje/enron/chronology.htm

Enron and Arthur Anderson’s collapse shows us dramaturgy gone amuck. It says something significant about the TAMARA-esque contending, fragmented, simultaneous, and multiple theatres that constitute the global economy.

We invite papers to TAMARA Journal that analyze the theatrics of Enron (and/or) Anderson. We are interested in critical postmodern revisions to dramaturgy.

Here are background papers and book to get you into the TAMARA-related theatre of Enron.
