Description

Erika Fischer-Lichtes introduction to the discipline of Theatre and Performance Studies is a strikingly authoritative and wide ranging guide to the study of theatre in all of its forms. Its three-part structure moves from the first steps in starting to think about performance; through to the diverse and interrelated concerns required of higher-level study:Part 1 ndash; Central Concepts for Theatre and Performance Research?ndash;?introduces the language and key ideas that are used to discuss and think about theatre: concepts of performance; the emergence of meaning; and the theatrical event as an experience shared by actors and spectators. Part 1 contextualizes these concepts by tracing the history of Theatre and Performance Studies as a discipline.Part 2?ndash;?Fields; Theories and Methods?ndash;?looks at how to?analyse?a performance and how to conduct theatre-historiographical research. This section is concerned with the doing of Theatre and Performance Studies: establishing and understanding different methodological approaches; using sources effectively; and building theoretical frameworks.Part 3 ndash; Pushing Boundaries?ndash;?expands on the lessons of Parts 1 and 2 in order to engage with theatre and performance in a global context. Part 3 introduces the concept of interweaving performance cultures; explores the interrelation of theatre with the other arts; and develops a transformative aesthetics of performance.?Case studies throughout the book root its theoretical discussion in theatrical practice. Focused accounts of plays; practitioners and performances map the development of Theatre and Performance Studies as an academic discipline; and of the theatre itself as an art form. This is the most comprehensive and sophisticated introduction to the field available; written by one of its foremost scholars.
