Theatre, Globalization and the Heteroglobal Method (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume documents the current scholarly and artistic practices surrounding comparison and globalisation in theatre in five geographic locations that imagine themselves as global centers of knowledge exchange.

Explores the notion of a heteroglobal approach to understand global circulation of performance. This approach starts with the local theoretical and philosophical frameworks from five imagined centres and then considers the knowledges about art and globalisation that emerge from a combination of these concepts. These "imagined centers", each containing a rich array of discourses, are South Africa, the U.S. and U.K., China, Japan, and Nigeria.

By considering "comparison" and "intercultural theatre (to use culturally specific names for a range of pursuits) as practiced in each of these local contexts as they theorize the global, this volume advances a more globally-inflected approach to studying globalization through a theoretically pluralistic matrix of different modes of comparison and interculturalism.
