Theatre & Feeling
As human traffic between nations increases and as hybridity becomes more characteristic of cultural production, it becomes imperative to critically reexamine the way cultural exchange is performed. This text surveys established approaches to the topic and proposes new ways of thinking about theatrical flow across cultures.
This book explores the relationship between theatre and museums in contemporary culture and the experience of contemporary museums as theatre. It shows how discourses of performance studies can open up new avenues of inquiry about the production and reception of the museum experience and its important place in contemporary culture.
Erin Hurley, Assistant Professor, McGill University, Canada
This text explores the idea that, for many people, theatre is a passion. It provides an intellectual framework for the range of emotional experiences engendered by the theatre, bringing the issue of theatrical feeling into focus as both a research object and a method in Theatre Studies.

Theatre & Ireland Lionel Pilkington, Senior Lecturer in English, National University of Ireland, Republic of Ireland
Often regarded as innately performative, Ireland has been the location for the ‘drama’ of rebellion and anti-colonial insurgency. This book argues that theatre in Ireland is a cultural phenomenon that is not restricted to professional, urban theatre, but is rooted in alternative and competing traditions of popular drama and performance.

Throughout the history of the nation-state, theatre has contributed to the construction and reappraisal of the nation and national identities. This book argues that ideas of the nation are constantly in flux and explores the way theatre engages with such changes according to different geographical, political, economic, social and cultural climates.

PRACTICE AND PRACTITIONERS
Mapping Landscapes for Performance as Research Scholarly Acts and Creative Cartographies Edited by Shannon Rose Riley, Assistant Professor of Humanities, San Jose State University, USA and Lynette Hunter, Professor of the History of Rhetoric and Performance, University of California, Davis, USA Although the sciences have long understood the value of practice-based research, the arts and humanities have tended to structure a gap between practice and analysis. This book examines differences and similarities between Performance as Research practices in various community and national contexts, mapping out the landscape of this new field.

Performance, Ethics and Spectatorship in a Global Age
Politics and Violence in Cuban and Argentine Theater
Helena Grehan, Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Arts, Murdoch University, Australia
Katherine Ford, Assistant Professor of Hispanic Studies, East Carolina University, USA
This book takes performance studies in exciting new directions, exploring the ways in which ethics can be used to understand the complex questions facing contemporary spectators. Engaging with five key performances, the book reflects on the emotional and intellectual impacts of politically inflected performance on spectators, critics and theorists.
This book looks at Cuban and Argentine theatre of the late 1960s and early 1970s to see how the idea of spectacle as violence was used to comment on and question the social and political violence that was unfolding offstage.

Contemporary Irish Drama
Performance Studies and Irish Culture
2nd edition
Edited by Sara Brady, Lecturer in Drama Studies and Fintan Walsh, Part-time Lecturer in Drama Studies, both at Trinity College, Dublin, Republic of Ireland
‘An engrossing, lively, timely, and important collection…The essays exemplify, probe, illuminate, and analyze the very rich performative landscape of Ireland. This book opens up new vistas to scholars of performance studies and Irish studies - and to anyone else wanting to learn more about the ebullient action of Irish culture.’- Richard Schechner, New York University, USA The highly performative categories of ‘Irish culture’ and ‘Irishness’ are in need of critical address, prompted by recent changes in Irish society, the arts industry and modes of critical inquiry. This book broaches this task by considering Irish expressive culture through some of the paradigms and vocabularies offered by performance studies. August 2009 Hardback

SHAKESPEARE HANDBOOKS Series Editors: John Russell Brown, Paul Edmondson and Kevin Ewert The Shakespeare Handbooks are unique student guides to Shakespeare’s plays. Their central feature is a commentary that shows the text’s potential in performance and how its characters can come alive on stage. The use made of properties, costumes and stage business, entries and exits, processions, music, song, dance, ritual, violence and noise: all of these things and more are shown to contribute to performance and study of the plays. Further sections consider the original text or texts, what is known of early performances, four or five landmark productions, and current criticism. For students of both Theatre and Shakespeare, these are books to keep at hand for practical work, study and independent exploration.

MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY THEATRE
Samuel Beckett and the Problem of Irishness
Sensualities/Textualities and Technologies
Emilie Morin, Lecturer in Modern British and Irish Drama, University of York, UK
‘Samuel Beckett and the Problem of Irishness deftly brings together scholarly erudition with theoretical sophistication in a strikingly original and judicious manner. Particularly impressive is the book’s international reach, demonstrating an alertness to French and European contexts as well as the Irish one.’- Ronan McDonald, University of Reading, UK Beckett’s bilingual œuvre has been approached from many angles, most of which stress its autonomy from understandings of Irishness emerging from the Irish Literary Revival. Emilie Morin shows that such autonomy is only apparent, and that Beckett’s avant-garde practices remain bound to the exigencies that govern their very development. October 2009 Hardback

Howard Barker: Politics and Desire An Expository Study of His Drama and Poetry, 1969-87 David Ian Rabey, Professor of Drama and Theatre Studies, University of Aberystwyth, UK
‘Rabey mobilizes powerful metaphors, almost as responses in kind to Barker’s lines, in sentences that have the quality of muscular poetry...At the border between criticism and theatre, Politics and Desire stands opposite Brecht’s Messingkauf Dialogues, challenging critical boundaries of theatre, and inviting us to experience the catastrophic throes of tragic transformation.’ - James D. Balestrieri, Theatre Three This is a revised and updated paperback edition of the critically acclaimed first full-length critical assessment of this most individual, challenging, conceptually energetic of British dramatists, whose recognition and influence have extended to a position of international eminence.

MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY THEATRE
Naming Theatre
Performance and the City
Demonstrative Diagnosis in Performance
Edited by D.J. Hopkins, Head of Theatre Studies, Shelley Orr, Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre, both at San Diego State University, USA and Kim Solga, Assistant Professor of English, University of Western Ontario, USA
James Frieze, Senior Lecturer in Drama, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
Reading a range of work from the US and UK over the last two decades, this is an innovative study of theatre’s growing obsession with technologies and effects of naming.

Get Real Documentary Theatre Past and Present Edited by Alison Forsyth, Lecturer in Theatre Studies, University of Aberystwyth, UK and Chris Megson, Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre, Royal Holloway University of London, UK
Over the past two decades, theatre practitioners across the West have turned to documentary modes of performance-making to confront new sociopolitical realities. The essays in this book place this work in context, exploring historical and contemporary examples of documentary and ‘verbatim’ theatre, and applying a range of critical perspectives. April 2009 Hardback
272pp £52.00
Urban studies has long understood the city as a ‘text’. What would it mean now to use performance to rethink that metaphor? Performance and the City queries the role theatre and performance play in urban policy, architecture, and civic history, while also exploring their important place in the memories created in the wake of urban trauma.

Against Theatre Creative Destructions on the Modernist Stage Edited by Alan Ackerman, Associate Professor of English, University of Toronto, Canada and Martin Puchner, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University, USA
