This book examines the French theatricalization of India from 1770
to 1865 and how a range of plays not only represented India to the
French viewing public but also staged issues within French culture
including colonialism, imperialism, race, gender, and national
politics. Through examining these texts and available performance
history, and incorporating historical texts and cultural theory,
David Hammerback analyses these works to illustrate a complex of
cultural representations: some contested Orientalism, some
participated in Western colonialist discourses, while some can be
placed somewhere between these two markers of ideology in Western
culture and the arts. He also assesses the works which participated
in shaping the theatrical face of Western hegemony, ones directly
participating in Orientalism as delineated by Edward Said and
others. This book will be of great interest to students and
scholars in theatre, French literature, history and cultural
studies.
