Description:John McCallum’s Belonging: Australian Playwriting in the 20th Century is unlike many other books on Australian drama published this decade. Recent publications have been strongly inflected in scope, content and rhetoric by discourses of gender and race, and by the politics of feminism, sexuality, migration, post-colonialism and reconciliation. Their authors offer incisive readings of plays in performance, selectively nuanced by subjective positions, archival research on theatre productions, and the embodied phenomenology of theatrical experience. McCallum’s readings of Australian plays are also incisive and nuanced, but the book incorporates those identity-based divisions within a broader embrace. Belonging restores to the criticism of Australian drama the national scope of earlier books like Dennis Carroll’s Australian Contemporary Drama (1985), Peter Fitzpatrick’s After ‘The Doll’ (1979) and Leslie Rees’s The Making of Australian Drama (1973).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
