A Global Doll's House - Ibsen and Distant Visions (Paperback, 1st ed. 2016): Julie Holledge, Jonathan Bollen, Frode... A Global Doll's House - Ibsen and Distant Visions (Paperback, 1st ed. 2016)
Julie Holledge, Jonathan Bollen, Frode Helland, Joanne Tompkins
R2,703 Discovery Miles 27 030 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of A Doll's House, Henrik Ibsen's most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play's production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play's transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play's 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway's soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.

Visualising Lost Theatres - Virtual Praxis and the Recovery of Performance Spaces (Hardcover): Joanne Tompkins, Julie Holledge,... Visualising Lost Theatres - Virtual Praxis and the Recovery of Performance Spaces (Hardcover)
Joanne Tompkins, Julie Holledge, Jonathan Bollen, Liyang Xia
R2,564 Discovery Miles 25 640 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This pioneering study harnesses virtual reality to uncover the history of five venues that have been 'lost' to us: London's 1590s Rose Theatre; Bergen's mid-nineteenth-century Komediehuset; Adelaide's Queen's Theatre of 1841; circus tents hosting Cantonese opera performances in Australia's goldfields in the 1850s; and the Stardust showroom in 1950s Las Vegas. Shaping some of the most enduring genres of world theatre and cultural production, each venue marks a significant cultural transformation, charted here through detailed discussion of theatrical praxis and socio-political history. Using virtual models as performance laboratories for research, Visualising Lost Theatres recreates the immersive feel of venues and reveals performance logistics for actors and audiences. Proposing a new methodology for using visualisations as a tool in theatre history, and providing 3D visualisations for the reader to consult alongside the text, this is a landmark contribution to the digital humanities.
