Описание: Suzan-Lori Parks is one of the worlds most popular dramatists. The recipient of a MacArthur genius grant, she is the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama. For students, scholars and practitioners, Suzan-Lori Parks on Stage and Screen provides an authoritative and enquiring approach to Parks diverse body of work that moves beyond a rehearsal of her key dramaturgical tropes, techniques and themes to offer a comprehensive critical exploration of one of the most daring and dynamic artists of our time. This accessible and innovative analysis of her career to-date will appeal to students, fans, and producers of her stage plays, films, novels, musicals and other works.Chapter One offers a new materialist approach to selected stage and radio plays to explore what the dramatization of animate and inanimate bodies reveals about nature, agency, sociality and the politics of everyday life. Chapter Two considers the elaborate spatial sensibilities that delineate Parks aesthetic. Chapter Three explores the artists penchant for tortured, yet hopelessly hopeful female protagonists who actively eschew victim status. Chapter Four looks at the play and two musicals Parks has staged on Broadway, all of which offer complex characterizations in terms of race, class, gender, and physical ability not typically seen in this arena. Chapter Five takes as its focus the temporal dynamics of Parks novels and screenplays, all of which feature chronic situations. The final chapter, Artistic Labors, argues that Parks tremendous and diverse artistic output urges us to reconsider the role of aesthetics and experimental art-making in social reform. The book concludes with a selected global production history. Warners original study expands the analytic aperture of Parks studies by offering the first thematic study of her oeuvre organized around a set of independent rubrics and original critical terms that emerge from close readings of scripts and productions. Drawing upon affect theory, theater historiography, performance studies and film theory, in addition to other contemporary discourses, it presents new paradigms for contemplating and assessing Parks contributions to theater, fiction, cinema, and music.
