Jonathan Swift and Popular Culture Myth, Media and the Man - A. Kelly - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Jonathan Swift and Popular Culture Myth, Media and the Man - A. Kelly - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Ann Kelly''s provocative book breaks the mold of Swift studies. 20th-century scholars have tended to assess Jonathan Swift as a pillar of the 18th-century "republic of letters," a conservative, even reactionary voice upholding classical values against the welling tide of popularization in literature. Kelly''s Swift is instead a practical exponent of the popular and impresario of the literary image. She argues that Swift turned his back on the elite to write for a popular audience, and that he annexed scandals to his fictionalized print alter ego, creating a continual demand for works by or about this self-mythologized figure. A fascinating look at popular print media, the commodification of the author, culture formation, and modern myth making, this book opens new ground in our understanding of one of the greatest English writers.

Masculinity and Film Performance - D. Peberdy - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Masculinity and Film Performance - D. Peberdy - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Masculinity and Film Performance is a lively and engaging study of the complex relationship between masculinity and performance on and off screen, focusing on the performance of "male angst" in American film and popular culture during the 1990s and 2000s. Building on theories of film acting, masculinity, performance, and cultural studies, this book establishes a framework for studying screen masculinity and provides close analysis of a range of performers and performance styles. It also examines the specific social, cultural, historical and political contexts that have shaped and affected the performance of masculinity on screen, such as the aging of the baby boom and the launch of Viagra onto the marketplace, the "Iron John" and "Wild Man" phenomenon, and the racially marked fatherhood crisis. Drawing from an array of illuminating film and actor case studies, Donna Peberdyoffers a significant contribution to the emerging field of screen performance studies.

Readings in Performance and Ecology - Theresa J. May - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Readings in Performance and Ecology - Theresa J. May - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Readings in Performance and Ecology is a groundbreaking collection of essays focusing on how theatre, dance, and other forms of performance are helping to transform our ecological values. Leading scholars and practitioners explore the ways that familiar and new works of theatre and dance can help us recognize our reciprocal relationship with the natural world; how performance helps us understand the way our bodies are integrally connected to the land; how environmentalists use performance as a form of protest; how performance illuminates our relationships with animals as autonomous creatures and artistic symbols; and how performance can help humans re-define our place in the larger ecological community.

Shakespeare’s Culture in Modern Performance - M. Jones - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare’s Culture in Modern Performance - M. Jones - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare''s Culture in Modern Performance is an original study at the interface of a historicizing literary criticism and the study of modern performance. In a critical climate that views the cultural object of performance as authentic in itself, is there any point in exploring a script''s original history? The writer argues for a dialogic understanding of Shakespeare''s plays in performance relative to unresolved issues of modernity, in a study of modern productions on stage and screen.

Performance Affects - J. Thompson - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Performance Affects - J. Thompson - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Performance Affects , now in paperback and with a new preface, explores performance projects in disaster and war zones to argue that joy, beauty and celebration should be the inspiration for the politics of community-based or participatory performance practice. Applied Theatre has traditionally concentrated on effects - impacts, themes communicated or ''truths'' revealed. Performance Affects challenges this orientation by suggesting that an affective realm needs to be the focus for a renewed aesthetic, ethical and radical vision of the practice. Performance projects with child soldiers, storytelling programmes in tsunami-affected areas and prison theatre workshops in post-genocide Rwanda are used to demonstrate the limits of a practice reliant solely on effect - and an alternative is suggested: one that encourages a commitment to pleasure, passion and enjoyment as a starting point for a political-aesthetic practice that acknowledges the importance of our affection for others as a stimulus to social change.

Migration and Performance in Contemporary Ireland - Charlotte Mcivor - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Migration and Performance in Contemporary Ireland - Charlotte Mcivor - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book investigates Ireland’s translation of interculturalism as social policy into aesthetic practice and situates the wider implications of this ‘new interculturalism’ for theatre and performance studies at large. Offering the first full-length, post-1990s study of the effect of large-scale immigration and interculturalism as social policy on Irish theatre and performance, McIvor argues that inward-migration changes most of what can be assumed about Irish theatre and performance and its relationship to national identity. By using case studies that include theatre, dance, photography, and activist actions, this book works through major debates over aesthetic interculturalism in theatre and performance studies post-1970s and analyses Irish social interculturalism in a contemporary European social and cultural policy context. Drawing together the work of professional and community practitioners who frequently identify as both artists and activists, Migration and Performance in Contemporary Ireland proposes a new paradigm for the study of Irish theatre and performance while contributing to the wider investigation of migration and performance.
