The Dramaturgy of the Spectator explores how Italian theatre
consciously adjusted to the emergence of a new kind of spectator
who became central to society, politics, and culture in the
mid-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The author argues that
while a focus on spectatorship in isolation has value, if we are to
understand the broader stakes of the relationship between the power
structures and the public sphere as it was then emerging, we must
trace step-by-step how spectatorship as a practice was rooted in
the social and cultural politics of Italy at the time. By
delineating the evolution of the Italian theatre public, as well as
the dramatic innovations and communicative techniques developed in
an attempt to manipulate the relationship between spectator and
performance, this book pioneers a shift in our understanding of
audience as both theoretical concept and historical phenomenon.
