This book examines the appropriation of theatre and theatrical
performance by ideologies of humanism, in terms that continue to
echo across the related disciplines of literary, drama, theatre,
and performance history and studies today. From Aristotle onward,
theatre has been regulated by three strains of critical poiesis:
the literary, segregating theatre and the practices of the
spectacular from the humanizing work attributed to the book and to
the internality of reading; the dramatic, approving the address of
theatrical performance only to the extent that it instrumentalizes
literary value; and the theatrical, assimilating performance to the
conjunction of literary and liberal values. These values have been
used to figure not only the work of theatre, but also the propriety
of the audience as a figure for its socializing work, along a
privileged dualism from the aestheticized ensemble-harmonizing
actor, character, and spectator to the essentialized drama-to the
politicized assembly, theatre understood as an agonistic gathering.
