Rowman & Littlefield Publishers The Evolution of Theatre and Drama in the Middle
Book SynopsisCultural expressions of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have a rich tradition, communal narratives, and spiritual connectivity. This tapestry, distinct from the secular drama prevalent in Western cultures, is a unique blend of indigenous traditions and Western influences. This book introduces the rich and diverse theatrical practices developed and matured in the region from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. The introduction of Western-style theatre in the nineteenth century marked a shift from traditional entertainment forms. In the twentieth century, subjects of colonialism, nationalism, independence, and Islamic ideology have often dominated the theatrical discourse, reflecting the region's socio-political realities. The book's final section looks at theatre from a twenty-first global perspective, including the crucial role of the diaspora. This book shows how colonialism, Islamic ideology, politics, war, refugee crisis, and nationalism have permeated MENA's theatre in the past and have continued to shape it in the present.

Haymarket Books Theater(s) and Public Sphere in a Global and
Book SynopsisVolume 1 of Theater(s) and Public Sphere in a Global and Digital Society explores the fundamental contribution that artistic and cultural forms bring to social dynamics and how these can consolidate cohabitation and create meaningfulness, in addition to fulfilling economic and regulatory needs. As symbolic forms of collective social practices, artistic and cultural forms weave together the meaning of territories, contexts, and peoples, and also of the generations who traverse them. These forms of meaning interact with the social imaginary, mediate marginalization, transform barriers into bridges, and are indispensable tools for any social coexistence and its continuous rethinking in everyday life. The various epistemic approaches present here refer to sociology, theatre studies, cultural studies, psychology, economy of culture, and social statistics which observe theatre as a social phenomenon. Contributors are: Maria Shevstova, Ilaria Riccioni, Roberta Paltrinieri, Gerhard Glüher, Raimondo Guarino, Mariselda Tessarolo, Raffaele Federici, Marco Serino, Maria Grazia Turri, Elena Olesina, Elena Polyudova, Marisol Facuse, Vincenzo Del Gaudio, Laura Gemini, Stefano Brilli, Jessica Camargo Molano, Annalisa Cicerchia, Simona Staffieri and Giulia Cavrini.Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsList of Figures and TablesNotes on Contributors1 Artistic Processes and Characteristics: Key Problems of the Sociology of the Theatre In Dialogue with Pierre Bourdieu Maria Shevtsova2 The Social and Political Impact of the Theatre in Contemporary Society Ilaria Riccioni3 Theatre at University as a Way to Increase the Sense of Citizenship and Civil Spirit Roberta Paltrinieri4 Staged Passages between Art and Everyday Life Gerhard Glüher5 Urban Environment, Places for Performance A Groundbreaking Experience: Renato Nicolini and Estate Romana (1976–1985) Raimondo Guarino6 The Theatre as the Stage of an Elusive Further Society Mariselda Tessarolo7 Paris and Popular Theatre in Robert Michels La foule and the Audience in the Years of Classical Sociology Raffaele Federici8 The Undone Discipline A Historical and Critical-Theoretical Account of the Sociology of the Theatre Marco Serino9 Theatre as Intersubjective Space for the Mediation of Collective Identity Outline of a Psychoanalytic Perspective Maria Grazia Turri10 Historical Reenactment and Theatrical Performance On New Perspectives of Educational Methods Elena Olesina and Elena Polyudova11 Political Theatre in the 20th Century Elements for Archaeology Marisol Facuse12 Blast Theory between Public Space and Social Space Vincenzo Del Gaudio13 Live/Life Sharing The Use of Social Media by Contemporary Theatre Companies in Italy Laura Gemini and Stefano Brilli14 Theatre as a Means of “Interpreting” Lockdown The Case of Staged Jessica Camargo Molano15 Cultural Welfare Theatre in the Limelight Annalisa Cicerchia and Simona Staffieri16 Measuring Culture – How and Why?
