Theatrical Speech Acts: Performing Language explores the
significance and impact of words in performance, probing how
language functions in theatrical scenarios, what it can achieve
under particular conditions, and what kinds of problems may arise
as a result. Presenting case studies from around the globe-spanning
Argentina, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kenya, Nigeria,
Rwanda, Thailand, the UK and the US-the authors explore key issues
related to theatrical speech acts, such as (post)colonial language
politics; histories, practices and theories of translation for/in
performance; as well as practices and processes of embodiment. With
scholars from different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds
examining theatrical speech acts-their preconditions, their
cultural and bodily dimensions as well as their manifold political
effects-the book introduces readers to a crucial linguistic
dimension of historical and contemporary processes of interweaving
performance cultures. Ideal for drama, theater, performance, and
translation scholars worldwide, Theatrical Speech Acts opens up a
unique perspective on the transformative power of language in
performance.
