Drawing primarily on Judith Butler's, Jacques Derrida's, Emmanuel Levinas's and Jean-Luc Nancy's reflections on precariousness/precarity, the Self and the Other, ethical responsibility/obligation, forgiveness, hos(ti)pitality and community, the essays in this volume examine the various ways in which contemporary British drama and theatre engage with 'the precarious'. Crucially, what emerges from the discussion of a wide range of plays - including Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem, Caryl Churchill's Here We Go, Martin Crimp's Fewer Emergencies and In the Republic of Happiness, Tim Crouch's The Author, Forced Entertainment's Tomorrow's Parties, David Greig's The American Pilot and The Events, Dennis Kelly's Love and Money, Mark Ravenhill's Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur, Robin Soans's Talking to Terrorists, Simon Stephens's Pornography, theTheatre Uncut project, debbie tucker green's dirty butterfly and Laura Wade's Posh - is the observation that contemporary (British) drama and theatre often realises its thematic and formal/structural potential to the full precisely by reflecting upon the category and the episteme of precariousness, and deliberately turning audience members into active participants in the process of negotiating ethical agency.

Автор: Claudia Georgi Название: Liveness on Stage: Intermedial Challenges in Contemporary British Theatre and Performance ISBN: 3110345900 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110345902 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Рейтинг: Цена: 136310.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Theatre is traditionally considered a live medium but its ‘liveness’ can no longer simply be taken for granted in view of the increasing mediatisation of the stage. Drawing on theories of intermediality,Liveness on Stageexplores how performances that incorporate film or video self-reflexively stage and challenge their own liveness by contrasting or approximating live and mediatised action. To illustrate this, the monograph investigates key aspects such as ‘ephemerality’, ‘co-presence’, ‘unpredictability’, ‘interaction’ and ‘realistic representation’ and highlights their significance for re-evaluating received notions of liveness. The analysis is based on productions by Gob Squad, Forkbeard Fantasy, Station House Opera, Proto-type Theater, Tim Etchells and Mary Oliver. In their playful approaches these practitioners predominantly present such media combination as a means of cross-fertilisation rather than as an antagonism between liveness and mediatisation. Combining an original theoretical approach with an in-depth analysis of the selected productions, this study will appeal to scholars and practitioners of theatre and performance as well as to those researching intermedial phenomena.
Автор: Hartl, Anja (university Of Konstanz, Germany) Название: Brecht and post-1990s british drama ISBN: 1350172782 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350172784 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 95040.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Can theatre change the world? If so, how can it productively connect with social reality and foster spectatorial critique and engagement?
This book examines the forms and functions of political drama in what has been described as a post-Marxist, post-ideological, even post-political moment. It argues that Bertolt Brecht's concept of dialectical theatre represents a privileged theoretical and dramaturgical method on the contemporary British stage as well as a valuable lens for understanding 21st-century theatre in Britain.
Establishing a creative philosophical dialogue between Brecht, Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno and Jacques Ranci re, the study analyses seminal works by five influential contemporary playwrights, ranging from Mark Ravenhill's 'in-yer-face' plays to Caryl Churchill's 21st century theatrical experiments. Engaging critically with Brecht's theatrical legacy, these plays create a politically progressive form of drama which emphasises notions of negativity, ambivalence and conflict as a prerequisite for spectatorial engagement and emancipation.
This book adopts an interdisciplinary and intercultural theoretical approach, reuniting English and German perspectives and innovatively weaving together a variety of theoretical strands to offer fresh insights on Brecht's legacy, on British theatre history and on the selected plays.
Автор: Korbinian Stockl Название: Love in Contemporary British Drama: Traditions and Transformations of a Cultural Emotion ISBN: 3110714647 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110714647 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Рейтинг: Цена: 127630.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Despite the recent turn to affects and emotions in the humanities and despite the unceasing popularity of romantic and erotic love as a motif in fictional works of all genres, the subject has received surprisingly little attention in academic studies of contemporary drama. Love in Contemporary British Drama reflects the appeal of love as a topic and driving force in dramatic works with in-depth analyses of eight pivotal plays from the past three decades. Following an interdisciplinary and historical approach, the study collects and condenses theories of love from philosophy and sociology to derive persisting discourses and to examine their reoccurrence and transformation in contemporary plays. Special emphasis is put on narratives of love’s compensatory function and precariousness and on how modifications of these narratives epitomise the peculiarities of emotional life in the social and cultural context of the present. Based on the assumption that drama is especially inclined to draw on shared narratives for representations of love, the book demonstrates that love is both a window to remnants of the past in the present and a proper subject matter for drama in times in which the suitability of the dramatic form has been questioned.
