Daring Adaptations, Creative Failures and Experimental Performances in Iberian Theatre

Daring Adaptations, Creative Failures and Experimental Performances in Iberian Theatre

Autor: María Chouza-calo , Esther Fernández , Jonathan Thacker

Número de Páginas: 296

In this volume, we are particularly interested in approaching theatre and performance as a dynamic and evolving practice of continuous change, regeneration and cultural mobility. Neither the dramatic texts nor their stage versions should be viewed as finished products but as creative processes in the making. Their richness lies in their unfinished and never-ending potential energy and their openness to constant revision, rehearsal, revival, and collective enterprise. This edited collection aims to create a dialogue on the artistic processes implicated in the various ways of working with the play text, the staging practices, the way audiences and critical reception can impact a production, and the many lives of Iberian theatre beyond the page or the stage. That is, its cultural and social legacies.

Greeks and Romans on the Latin American Stage

Greeks and Romans on the Latin American Stage

Autor: Rosa Andújar , Konstantinos P. Nikoloutsos

Número de Páginas: 296

The first comprehensive treatment in English of the rich and varied afterlife of classical drama across Latin America, this volume explores the myriad ways in which ancient Greek and Roman texts have been adapted, invoked and re-worked in notable modern theatrical works across North and South America and the Caribbean, while also paying particular attention to the national and local context of each play. A comprehensive introduction provides a critical overview of the varying issues and complexities that arise when studying the afterlife of the European classics in the theatrical stages across this diverse and vast region. Fourteen chapters, divided into three general geographical sub-regions (Southern Cone, Brazil and the Caribbean and North America) present a strong connection to an ancient dramatic source text as well as comment upon important socio-political crises in the modern history of Latin America. The diversity and expertise of the voices in this volume translate into a multi-ranging approach to the topic that encompasses a variety of theoretical and interdisciplinary perspectives from classics, Latin American studies and theatre and performance studies.

Stages of Conflict brings together an array of dramatic texts, tracing the intersection of theater and social and political life in the Americas over the past five centuries. Historical pieces from the sixteenth century to the present highlight the encounter between indigenous tradition and colonialism, while contributions from modern playwrights such as Virgilio Pinero, Jose Triana, and Denise Stolkos take on the tumultuous political and social upheavals of the past century.

Chilean Theater, 1973-1985

Political Bodies

Autor: Alice A. Nelson

Furthermore, she argues that this contest has been enacted literally and figuratively on the stage of human bodies as sites of domination and resistance.

Handbook of Latin American Literature (Routledge Revivals)

Autor: David Foster

Número de Páginas: 821

First published in 1987 (this second edition in 1992), the Handbook of Latin American Literature offers readers the opportunity to explore this literary history in the English Language and constitutes an ideological approach to Latin American Literature. It provides both concise information concerning particular authors, works, and literary traditions of Latin America as well as comprehensive material about the various national literatures of the area. This book will therefore be of interest to Hispanic scholars, as well as more general readers and non-Hispanists.

Diamela Eltit

Diamela Eltit

Autor: Rubí Carreño Bolívar

Número de Páginas: 370

La producción literaria de Eltit ha generado una gran cantidad de apreciaciones críticas en muy diversos países. Las interpretaciones más populares y extendidas en todos ellos insisten en su feminismo, que primero lucha contra la dictadura de Pinochet y luego, contra el neoliberalismo. Esto hace que ella y sus textos sean percibidos como una voz minoritaria y contra hegemónica. Este volumen reúne casi una treintena de textos que actualizan o puntualizan tales apreciaciones.

La réinvention de la forme scénique dans le théâtre chilien durant la « transition politique »

La réinvention de la forme scénique dans le théâtre chilien durant la « transition politique »

Autor: Inés Stranger

Número de Páginas: 494

Les réflexions proposées dans cette thèse proviennent d’un dialogue entre les études théâtrales, l’histoire culturelle et des études relatives à l’imaginaire. La question principale abordée est la relation entre le théâtre et la période de la transition politique chilienne. Durant le premier gouvernement de la post-dictature (1990-1994), le théâtre chilien a connu un renouveau créatif sans précédent. Bon nombre de pièces de théâtre étaient représentées partout. Le théâtre avait une grande importance sociale et bénéficiait d’un large public ainsi que d’une importante couverture de presse. Il était un élément clé dans l’articulation de la société chilienne. Toutefois, les thèmes abordés étaient bien éloignés de la transition politique que connaissait alors le Chili. Il y avait un grand décalage entre ce dont parlait le théâtre et l’importance du processus politico-social vécu à l’époque. En étudiant le théâtre, nous essayons de comprendre les éléments divergents et encore dissidents par rapport au grand canevas triomphaliste de la transition politique, des images, et même des récits qui forment un imaginaire plus...

The Legacy of Human Rights Violations in the Southern Cone

The Legacy of Human Rights Violations in the Southern Cone

Autor: Luis Roniger , Mario Sznajder

Número de Páginas: 386

The new democracies of the Southern Cone have publicly professed to reject and condemn the uses of the state power in various forms against citizens under military rule, thus dissociating themselves from their predecessors. And yet the experiences of military rule have become a grim legacy, raising major issues and dilemmas to the forefront of the public agenda. The Legacy of Human Rights Violations in the Southern Cone: Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay analyses in a systematic and comparative way the struggles and debates, the institutional paths and crises that took place in these societies following redemocratization in the 1980s and 1990s, as they confronted the legacy of violations committed under previous authoritarian governments and as the democratic administrations tried to balance normative principles and political contingency. The book also traces how these trends affected the development of politics of oblivion and memory and the restructuring of collective identity and solidarity following redemocratization. Oxford Studies in Democratization is a series for scholars and students of comparative politics and related disciplines. The series will concentrate on the...

Directing the Decades

Directing the Decades

Autor: Sue Dunderdale

Número de Páginas: 333

Directing the Decades is an examination of the development of theatre in the UK since the revolution of the 1950s until the present day, viewed through the individual progress of a female director from a working-class background. In this book, theatre history and lessons on directing are interwoven: the history is presented decade by decade, examining particular productions. Each historical theatre chapter is followed by a method chapter examining directorial influences and techniques predominant in each decade, as well as examining the working experience of the author in that decade. The book also includes practical advice on the directing process, including exercises, plans for rehearsals, and camera plans. Sue Dunderdale offers a unique perspective on the evolution of theatre directing in the UK, and her work, which served as the foundation of the creation of the Theatre Lab and Directing program at RADA, continues to influence working directors today. Directing the Decades will be of interest to students and practitioners of theatre directing, acting, and theatre history, and to theatregoers with a consciousness of class and how it impacts on our lives. The book also offers...

Constructing Collective Identities & Shaping Public Spheres

Autor: Sznajder Roniger , Luis Roninger

Número de Páginas: 376

This text shows how different collective identities in Latin America shape the access to, and participation in, the public domain. Collective identities were previously thought to be primordial components that would not survive the modern world, but now theorists think of them as a modern creation.
