The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics is a volume of
critical essays, provocations, and interventions on the most
important questions faced by today's writers, critics, audiences,
and theatre and performance makers. Featuring texts written by
scholars and artists who are diversely situated (geographically,
culturally, politically, and institutionally), its multiple
perspectives broadly address the question "How can we be political
now?" To respond to this question, Peter Eckersall and Helena
Grehan have created eight galvanising themes as frameworks or
rubrics to rethink the critical, creative, and activist
perspectives on questions of politics and theatre. Each theme is
linked to a set of guiding keywords: Post (post consensus,
post-Brexit, post-Fukushima, post-neoliberalism, post-humanism,
post-global financial crisis, post-acting, the real) Assembly
(assemblage, disappearance, permission, community, citizen,
protest, refugee) Gap (who is in and out, what can be
seen/heard/funded/allowed) Institution (visibility/darkness,
inclusion, rules) Machine (biodata, surveillance economy,
mediatisation) Message (performance and conviction, didacticism,
propaganda) End (suffering, stasis, collapse, entropy) Re. (reset,
rescale, reanimate, reimagine, replay: how to bring complexity back
into the public arena, how art can help to do this). These themes
were developed in conversation with key thinkers and artists in the
field, and the resulting texts engage with artistic works across a
range of modes including traditional theatre, contemporary
performance, public protest events, activism, and community and
participatory theatre. Suitable for academics, performance makers,
and students, The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics
explores questions of how to be political in the early 21st
century, by exploring how theatre and performance might provoke,
unsettle, reinforce, or productively destabilise the status quo.
