Description:The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics is a volume of critical essays, provocations, and interventions on the most important questions faced by today's writers, critics, audiences, theatre and performance makers. Featuring texts written by scholars and artists who are diversely situated (geographically, culturally, politically, and institutionally), its multiple perspectives broadly address the question "How can we be political now?."To respond to this question, Peter Eckersall and Helena Grehan have created eight galvanising themes as frameworks or rubrics to rethink the critical, creative, and activist perspectives on questions of politics and theatre. Each theme is linked to a set of guiding keywords:Post (post consensus, post Brexit, post Fukushima, post neoliberalism, post humanism, post global financial crisis, post-acting and the real)Assembly (assemblage, disappearance, permission, community, citizen, protest, refugee)Gap (who is in and out, what can be seen/heard/funded/allowed)Institution (visibility/darkness, inclusion, rules)Machine (biodata, surveillance economy, mediatisation)Message (performance and conviction, didacticism, propaganda)End (suffering, stasis, collapse, entropy)Re. (reset, rescale, reanimate, reimagine, replay: how to bring complexity back into the public arena, how art can help to do this)These themes were developed in conversation with key thinkers and artists in the field, and the resulting texts engage with artistic works across a range of modes including traditional theatre, contemporary performance, public protest events, activism, and community and participatory theatre.Suitable for academics, performance makers, and students, The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics explores questions of how to be political in the early twenty-first century, by exploring how theatre and performance might provoke, unsettle, reinforce, or productively destabilise the status quo.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
