Theatre Institutions in Crisis - European Perspectives (Paperback): Christopher Balme, Tony Fisher Theatre Institutions in Crisis - European Perspectives (Paperback)
Christopher Balme, Tony Fisher
R1,255 Discovery Miles 12 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Theatre Institutions in Crisis examines how theatre in Europe is beset by a crisis on an institutional level and the pressing need for robust research into the complex configuration of factors at work that are leading to significant shifts in the way theatre is understood, organised, delivered, and received. Balme and Fisher bring together scholars from different disciplines and countries across Europe to examine what factors can be said to be most common to the institutional crisis of European theatre today. The methods employed are drawn from systems theory, social-scientific approaches, economics and statistics, theatre and performance, and other interpretative approaches (hermeneutics), and labour studies. This book will be of great interest to researchers, students, and practitioners working in the fields of performance and theatre studies. It will be particularly relevant to researchers with a particular interest in European theatre and its networks.

Beyond Failure - New Essays on the Cultural History of Failure in Theatre and Performance (Hardcover): Tony Fisher, Eve... Beyond Failure - New Essays on the Cultural History of Failure in Theatre and Performance (Hardcover)
Tony Fisher, Eve Katsouraki
R4,135 Discovery Miles 41 350 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In setting foot on stage, every performer risks the possiblity of failure. Indeed, the very performance of any human action is inextricable from its potential not to succeed. This inherent potential has become a key critical trope in contemporary theatre, performance studies, and scholarship around visual cultures. Beyond Failure explores what it means for our understanding not just of theatrical practice but of human social and cultural activity more broadly. The essays in this volume tackle contemporary debates around the theory and poetics of failure, suggesting that in the absence of success can be found a defiance and hopefulness that points to new ways of knowing and being in the world. Beyond Failure offers a unique and engaging approach for students and practitioners interested not only in the impact of failure on the stage, but what it means for wider social and cultural debates.

Tony Fisher, Eve Katsouraki
R4,236 Discovery Miles 42 360 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

The Aesthetic Exception - Essays on Art, Theatre, and Politics (Hardcover): Tony Fisher The Aesthetic Exception - Essays on Art, Theatre, and Politics (Hardcover)
Tony Fisher
R2,437 Discovery Miles 24 370 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

The Aesthetic Exception theorises anew the relation between art and politics. It challenges critical trends that discount the role of aesthetic autonomy, to impulsively reassert art as an effective form of social engagement. But it equally challenges those on the flipside of the efficacy debate, who insist that art's politics is limited to a recondite space of 'autonomous resistance'. The book shows how each side of the efficacy debate overlooks art's exceptional status and its social mediations. Mobilising philosophy and cultural theory, and employing examples from visual art, performance, and theatre, it proposes four alternative tests to 'effect' to offer a nuanced account of art's political character. Those tests examine how art relates to politics as a practice that articulates its historical conjuncture, and how it prefigures the 'new' through simulations capable of activating the political life of the spectator. -- .

Foucault'S Theatres (Paperback): Tony Fisher, Kelina Gotman Foucault'S Theatres (Paperback)
Tony Fisher, Kelina Gotman
R601 Discovery Miles 6 010 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The volume contributes to a new articulation of theatre and performance studies via Foucault's critical thought. With cutting edge studies by established and emerging writers in areas such as dramaturgy, film, music, cultural history and journalism, the volume aims to be accessible for both experienced researchers and advanced students encountering Foucault's work for the first time. The introduction sets out a thorough and informative assessment of Foucault's relevance to theatre and performance studies and to our present cultural moment - it rereads his profound engagement with questions of truth, power and politics, in light of previously unknown writings and lectures set in relation to current political and cultural concerns. Unique to this volume is the discovery of a 'theatrical' Foucault - the profound affinity of his thinking with questions of performativity. This discovery makes accessible the 'performance turn' to readers of Foucault, while opening up ways of reading Foucault's oeuvre 'theatrically'. -- .

1966 Shortly before England's World Cup squad began their winning crusade, three young lads from Birmingham kickstarted their motorbike and sidecar and rode off on an ill-prepared and ill-advised journey - across Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East. This is the comic and touching story of their adventures... and a glimpse back to the age of do-it-yourself travel.

Theatre and Governance in Britain, 1500-1900 - Democracy, Disorder and the State (Paperback): Tony Fisher Theatre and Governance in Britain, 1500-1900 - Democracy, Disorder and the State (Paperback)
Tony Fisher
R1,161 Discovery Miles 11 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book begins with a simple observation - that just as the theatre resurfaced during the late Renaissance, so too government as we understand it today also began to appear. Their mutually entwining history was to have a profound influence on the development of the modern British stage. This volume proposes a new reading of theatre's relation to the public sphere. Employing a series of historical case studies drawn from the London theatre, Tony Fisher shows why the stage was of such great concern to government by offering close readings of well-known religious, moral, political, economic and legal disputes over the role, purpose and function of the stage in the 'well-ordered society'. In framing these disputes in relation to what Michel Foucault called the emerging 'art of government', this book draws out - for the first time - a full genealogy of the governmental 'discourse on the theatre'.
