Originally published in 1983, this book sets the phases and
elements of Glasgow’s townscape evolution in their historical
framework, from the medieval period when Glasgow was a small but
important burgh to the growth of the town thanks to its command of
the transatlantic tobacco trade in the 18th Century. Examining the
solid growth which came with the textile phase of the industrial
revolution and subsequent pioneering achievements in ship-building
and marine engineering, the book also charts the subsequent
collapse of the industrial base and attempts at urban renewal on a
massive scale.

In Californios, Anglos, and the Performance of Oligarchy in the
U.S. West, author Andrew Gibb argues that the
mid-nineteenth-century encounter between Anglos and californios-
the Spanish-speaking elites who ruled Mexican California between
1821 and 1848-resulted not only in the Americanization of
California but also the "Mexicanization" of Americans. Employing
performance studies methodologies in his analysis of everyday and
historical events, Gibb traces how oligarchy evolved and developed
in the region. The oligarchic rule of the californios has
significantly shaped the social and political development of the
greater U.S. West from the nineteenth century to the present day.
Traces of that power are still visible in the places where
California's elites continue to gather-from the meeting rooms of
the California Club in downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific-Union
at the top of San Francisco's Nob Hill, to the dining rooms and
parlors of Pasadena mansions and Hillsborough estates. Gibb
outlines regional patterns of oligarchic rule that reveal the
continuous functioning of an autocratic power structure that traces
its roots to Mexican California. While the power of local oligarchs
has waned in the years since the Second World War, the significant
influence they still wield is a reminder of an era when
exceptionally concentrated land ownership ensured elite control of
California society. This interdisciplinary study draws on
performance studies, theatre historiography, and New Western
History to identify how the unique power relations of historical
California were constituted and perpetuated through public
performances- not only traditional theatrical productions, but also
social events such as elite weddings and community dances-and
historical events-the U.S. seizure of the city of Monterey, the
feting of Commodore Stockton in San Francisco, and the Bear Flag
Revolt.
A substantive exploration of theatrical costume. Stage costumes
reveal character. They tell audiences who the character is or how a
character functions within the world of the play, among other
things. Theatrical costuming, however, along with other forms of
theatre design, has often been considered merely a craft, rather
than part of the deeply systemic creation of meaning onstage. In
what ways do our clothes shape and reveal our habits of behavior?
How do stage costumes work to reveal one kind of habit via the
manipulation of another? How might theatre practitioners learn to
most effectively exploit this dynamic? Theatre Symposium, Volume 26
analyzes the ways in which meaning is conveyed through costuming
for the stage and explores the underlying assumptions embedded in
theatrical practice and costume production.
A few weeks prior to the submission deadline for this volume of
Theatre Symposium, the murder of George Floyd by officers of the
Minneapolis Police Department sparked a movement for racial justice
that reverberated at every level of US society. At predominantly
and historically white academic institutions (including Theatre
Symposium and its parent organization, the Southeastern Theatre
Conference) leaders were compelled, as perhaps never before, to
account for the role of systematic racism in the foundation and
perpetuation of their organizations. While the present volume’s
theme of “Theatre and Race” was announced in the waning days of
2019, the composition and editing of the issue’s essays were
undertaken almost entirely within the transformed cultural and
professional landscape of 2020. Throughout its twenty-nine years of
publication, Theatre Symposium’s pages have included many
excellent essays whose authors have deployed theories of race as an
analytical framework, and (less often) treated BIPOC-centered art
and artists as subject. The intent of the current editors in
conceiving this issue was to center such subjects and
theorizations, a goal that has since taken on a more widely
recognized urgency. Taken together, these twelve essays represent a
wide range of scholarly responses to the theme of “theatre and
race.” The fact that there is so much to say on the topic, from
so many different perspectives, is a sign of how profoundly theatre
practices have been—and continue to be—shaped by racial
discourses and their material manifestations.
