This book combines performance analysis with contemporary political
philosophy to advance new ways of understanding both political
performance and the performativity of the politics of the street.
Our times are pre-eminently political times and have drawn radical
responses from many theatre and performance practitioners. However,
a decade of conflict in the Middle East and Afghanistan, the
eruption of new social movements around the world, the growth of
anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation struggles, the upsurge of
protests against the blockades of neoliberalism, and the rising
tide of dissent and anger against corporate power, with its
exorbitant social costs, have left theatre and performance
scholarship confronting something of a dilemma: how to theorize the
political antagonisms of our day? Drawing on the resources of
'post-Marxist' political thinkers such as Chantal Mouffe and
Jacques Ranciere, the book explores how new theoretical horizons
have been made available for performance analysis.
