Why has memory become such an important political tool in response
to the challenges of modernity? How can performance be used to
probe and recuperate aspects of the past, and what are the ethical
and political questions that arise when it does so? And how should
the discipline of theatre studies define and deploy the term
'memory' theoretically and in practice? Theory for Theatre Studies:
Memory provides a comprehensive introduction to the intersections
between contemporary theatre and performance, the field of memory
studies and the politics of memory across the globe. Beginning by
offering a fresh critical snapshot of the major theoretical
foundations for the study of memory today, the author presents
vivid theatrical examples drawn from a wide variety of cultural
contexts and compellingly illustrates the centrality of memory for
the theatre as well as the vital role of theatre in transmitting
individual and collective memories. Featuring in-depth case studies
of a range of performance works - including Lola Arias's Minefield,
Yael Ronen's Common Ground and Robert Lepage's The Seven Streams of
the River Ota - it explores how theatre artists have grappled with
issues of memory and the tensions between memory and history. A
final section examines the problematics of memory in a global
context by exploring the subject of migration/immigration. Memory
is supported by further online resources including section
overviews and discussion questions. Online resources to accompany
