The Politics of Being on Stage

Hrsg. von Anja Klöck. 13 essays from the field of contemporary theatre and performance studies address the issue of the actor/performer and the question of his or her public negotiation of normative orders. They are structured by three sections: 1: Acting and Being: Politics of Theories and Practices; 2: Politics of Training: Traditions, Institutions and Promises; 3: Activist Acting: Spectatorship, Scholarship and Responsibility.
