The politics of Jean Genet's late theatre is the first publication
to situate the politics of Genet's theatre within the social,
spatial and political contexts of France in the 1950s and 1960s.
The book's innovative approach departs significantly from existing
scholarship on Genet. Where scholars have tended to bracket Genet
as either an absurdist, ritualistic or, more recently, a resistant
playwright, this study argues that his theory and practice of
political theatre have more in common with the affirmative ideas of
thinkers such as Henri Lefebvre, Jacques Ranciere and Alain Badiou.
By doing so, the monograph positions Genet as a revolutionary
playwright, interested in producing progressive forms of democracy.
This original and interdisciplinary reading of Genet's late work
will be of interest to students and practitioners of Theatre, as
well as those interested in French and History. -- .
