  • Three Uses of the Knife

    On the Nature and Purpose of Drama

    de David Mamet ...
    The purpose of theater, like magic, like religion . . . is to inspire cleansing awe. What makes good drama? And why does drama matter in an age that is awash in information and entertainment? David Mamet, one of our greatest living playwrights, tackles these questions with bracing directness and aphoristic authority. He believes that the tendency to dramatize is essential to human nature, that we ... Leer más

    Sex and the Sacred in Wagner's Tristan and Isolde

    de Roger Scruton ...
    A tale of forbidden love and inevitable death, the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde recounts the story of two lovers unknowingly drinking a magic potion and ultimately dying in one another's arms.

  • Chaos Imagined

    Literature, Art, Science

    de Martin Meisel ...
    The stories we tell in our attempt to make sense of the world—our myths and religion, literature and philosophy, science and art—are the comforting vehicles we use to transmit ideas of order. But beneath the quest for order lies the uneasy dread of fundamental disorder. True chaos is hard to imagine and even harder to represent. In this book, Martin Meisel considers the long effort to conjure, ... Leer más

    Theorizing Performer-Object Interaction in Grotowski, Kantor, and Meyerhold

    Series series Literature, Cultural and Media Studies (R0)
    How is performer-object interaction enacted and perceived in the theatre? How thereby are varieties of 'meaning' also enacted and perceived?

  • Baroque, Venice, Theatre, Philosophy

    de Will Daddario ...
    Series series Literature, Cultural and Media Studies (R0)
    This book theorizes the baroque as neither a time period nor an artistic style but as a collection of bodily practices developed from clashes between governmental discipline and artistic excess, moving between the dramaturgy of Jesuit spiritual exercises, the political theatre-making of Angelo Beolco (aka Ruzzante), and the civic governance of the Venetian Republic at a time of great tumult. The ... Leer más

    Aesthetics and Politics

    de S. Haedicke ...
    Series series Literature, Cultural and Media Studies (R0)
    Street theatre invades a public space, shakes it up and disappears, but the memory of the disruption haunts the site for audiences who experience it. This book looks at how the dynamic interrelationship of performance, participant and place creates a politicized aesthetic of public space that enables the public to rehearse democratic practices. ...

  • Hiroshima After Iraq

    Three Studies in Art and War

    Series series The Wellek Library Lectures
    Many on the left lament an apathy or amnesia toward recent acts of war. Particularly during the George W. Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, opposition to war seemed to lack the heat and potency of the 1960s and 1970s, giving the impression that passionate dissent was all but dead.Through an analysis of three politically engaged works of art, Rosalyn Deutsche argues against this melancholic ...

  • Heritage, Culture, and Politics in the Postcolony

    The act of remaking one's history into a heritage, a conscientiously crafted narrative placed over the past, is a thriving industry in almost every postcolonial culture. This is surprising, given the tainted role of heritage in so much of colonialism's history. Yet the postcolonial state, like its European predecessor of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, deploys heritage institutions and ... Leer más
