From Mimesis to Interculturalism offers a series of critical
readings of key texts in the history of European and American
theatrical and performance theory. It answers the need for a
detailed critique of theatrical theory from its origins in Greek
antiquity to the present day, asking the reader to re-examine the
basis of what have become assumptions, but are all too often
perceived as truths. The book complements existing studies of the
major modern theorists by giving close attention to the European
tradition before Stanislavski, and to the theorists who have gained
prominence after Grotowski. The use of language and the creation of
meaning is the primary concern of all the readings. Part One
considers classical and classicizing theorists from Greece and the
European enlightenment, and Part Two twentieth-century theorists
after Grotowski; a concluding Part Three indicates how the approach
might be applied to exemplary theorists from the modern canon, and
to certain contemporary theoretical proposals.
