Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Beginning with the premise that memory is crucial in contemporary experience, this exploration delves into the intersections of contemporary theatre, performance, and the interdisciplinary field of memory studies, addressing global concerns about the politics of memory. It offers a critical overview of the theoretical foundations of memory studies today and presents vivid examples from theatre worldwide, demonstrating how memory is central to theatre and its role in political claims and the transmission of individual and collective memories. Notable works discussed include Tadeusz Kantor's *Wielopole, Wielopole*, Lola Arias' *Minefield*, Katie Mitchell's *The Forbidden Zone*, Brokentalkers' *The Blue Boy*, and André Amálio's *Liberation*. As part of the Theory for Theatre Studies series, this volume balances essential background information with original insights, grounded in case studies to enhance understanding. Each volume follows a consistent three-part structure: an overview of the term's understanding within the discipline, current trends illustrated by substantial case studies, and emergent trends with interdisciplinary connections. Additional online resources, including illustrative material, questions, and exercises, support the text.
