Taylor & Francis Ltd Liveness
Book SynopsisLiveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture addresses what may be the single most important question facing all kinds of performance today. What is the status of live performance in a culture dominated by mass media and digital technologies?Since its first appearance, Philip Auslander's groundbreaking book has helped to reconfigure a new area of study. Looking at specific instances of live performance such as theatre, music, sport, and courtroom testimony, Liveness offers penetrating insights into media culture, suggesting that media technology has encroached on live events to the point where many are hardly live at all. In this new edition, the author thoroughly updates his provocative argument to take into account the impact of the internet, and cultural, social, and legal developments. He also addresses the situation of live performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. In tackling some of the last great shibboleths surrounding the high cultural status of theTrade ReviewPraise for the Second Edition:"Auslander’s Liveness emerges, then, not simply as a revised and updated version of the original text, but, more remarkably, as a better, more readable book—one that will almost certainly remain foundational for future historical, critical, and theoretical elucidations of the dynamic tension between the live and the mediatized, perhaps the defining paradox of contemporary performance." —Brian Eugenio Herrera, University of New Mexico, USA"Almost twenty-five years since its original publication, during which digital culture and technologies have become increasingly integral to our lives and cultural practices, while the pandemic has rapidly necessitated a deeper conversation about mediatized performance, the questions Auslander asked in Liveness are still applicable to emerging forms, practices and experiences of liveness. These questions are as relevant today as ever, particularly in the current theatre landscape where mediatized performance is not only about prerecorded or live broadcast performance, but also about various modes of digital and hybrid performance that use technologies at the core of their formation, design, critical rationale, staging and audience engagement strategies." — Seda Ilter, University of London, UK, Theatre Research International, October 2022Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Shakespeare and EcoPerformance History
Book SynopsisSeismic shifts in the theatrical meanings of The Merry Wives of Windsor have taken place across the centuries as Shakespeare's frequently performed play has relocated to Windsor across the world, journeying along the production/adaptation/appropriation continuum.This (eco-)performance history of Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor not only offers the first in-depth analysis of the play in production, with a particular focus on the representation of merry women, but also utilises the comedy's forest-aware dramaturgy to explore Mistress Page's concept of being frugal in my mirth' in relation to sustainable theatre practices. Herne's Oak the fictitious tree in Windsor Forest where everyone meets in the final scene of the play is utilised to enable a maverick but ecologically based reframing of the productions of Merry Wives analysed here.This study engages with gender, physical comedy, and cultural relocations of Windsor across the world

Taylor & Francis Ltd Playwriting in Europe
Book SynopsisThis book maps contemporary playwriting and theatre translation practices and ecologies in the European continent.Whether you are a scholar researching contemporary drama and translation, or a theatre practitioner looking for ways to navigate theatrical conventions in other countries, this book is for you. Through questionnaires and one-to-one interviews with key stakeholders, Dr Laera collects qualitative and quantitative data about how each national theatre culture supports living dramatists, what conventions drive the production and translation (or lack thereof) of contemporary plays, and what perceptions are held by gatekeepers, theatre-makers and other cultural operators about the theatre system in which they work.Through country-by-country descriptions and analyses; interviews with playwrights, translators, directors and gatekeepers; a list of key facts and best practices; and a rigorous assessment of its methodologies, this volume is indispensable for those inteTrade Review''The book is an impressive undertaking, building cultural and creative bridges at a time when Europe needs these urgently. The book pursues dialogues across practices, institutions, stakeholders and individuals in a methodical and illuminating way, providing a framework that will be tremendously relevant to scholars, students and practitioners alike, well beyond national border lines. Such inspiring, applied internationalism is essential to contemporary theatre scholarship.'' Vicky Angelaki, Professor in English Literature, Mid Sweden University."The quantity of information orchestrated by Margherita Laera in this brief book is quite remarkable. Inspired by best practice from the furthest reaches of Europe – Iceland to Turkey – it provides extensive information on playwriting, theatre commissioning, funding, producing and reviewing practices, constituting an essential toolkit for keeping any theatre industry in excellent working order."
