Originalbroschur. Condition: Sehr gut. 241 S. Einband leicht berieben. - Taking its cue from Eugene O'Neill's questioning of «faithful realism», voiced by Edmund Tyrone in Long Day's Journey into Night, this book examines the distant legacy of the Irish American playwright in contemporary multiethnic drama in the U.S. It explores the labyrinth of formal devices through which African American, Latina/o, First Nations, and Asian American dramatists have unconsciously reinterpreted O'Neill's questioning of mimesis. In their works, hybridizations of stage realism function as aesthetic celebrations of the spiritual potentialities of cultural in-betweenness. This volume provides detailed analyses of over forty plays authored by such key artists as August Wilson, Suzan-Lori Parks, José Rivera, Cherríe Moraga, Hanay Geiogamah, Diane Glancy, David Henry Hwang, and Chay Yew, to give only a few prominent examples. All in all, Labyrinth of Hybridities invites its readers to reassess the cross-cultural patterns characterizing the history of twentieth century American drama.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - Ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten Lagerspuren - This collection of essays explores some of the avenues along which the field of comparative drama studies could be reconfigured at the dawn of the twenty-first century. It offers a comparative analysis of theatre across national and linguistic boundaries while simultaneously acknowledging newer trends in ethnic studies. Indeed, the contributors to this critical anthology productively combine traditional comparative literature methodologies with performance approaches and postcolonial perspectives. In this way, they shed new light on the intertextual, multi-ethnic, and cross-cultural dialogues linking theatrical traditions from Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific region. This book's broad scope bears testimony to the fact that transnational studies can fruitfully illuminate the multiple dramatic voices of our increasingly globalized age.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the last decades of the twentieth century, North American drama has powerfully enacted the problematic notions of cultural memory and identity, as the essays assembled in this critical anthology demonstrate. Echoing Derrida's non-essentialist interpretation of the term 'signature', this collection provides an innovative focus on North American theatre and drama as a site of latent cultural memories. In this volume, the concept of cultural memory offers a privileged vantage point from which to redefine issues of diasporic identities, exilic predicaments, and multi-ethnic subject positions at the dawn of a new century. Playwrights examined here include noted Canadian and US artists such as Marie Clements, Eva Ensler, Lorraine Hansberry, Tomson Highway, Cherríe Moraga, Djanet Sears, Guillermo Verdecchia, August Wilson, and Chay Yew, to cite but a few. In the process of remembering, North American dramatists develop new aesthetic modes in which the signatures of the past merge with the present and foreshadow an imagined future.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the ecological challenges of the twenty-first century, interculturally sensitive understandings of nature, place, and environment are essential for the development of a planetary community. Acknowledging that the future of humankind is global, this volume explores the multi-faceted semantics of ecology in contemporary Indigenous theater and performance. Focusing on works by such eminent Indigenous artists as Tomson Highway, Drew Hayden Taylor, Marie Clements, Yvette Nolan, Kevin Loring, Wesley Enoch, Hone Kouka, Briar Grace-Smith, and Witi Ihimaera, the volume brings together a spectrum of ecological perspectives from Europe, North America, and Oceania. By tracing the multiple Indigenous configurations of the relationships between humans and their environment, the essays collected in Enacting Nature offer contributions to the fields of comparative Indigenous Studies, performance studies, and ecocriticism alike.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - À partir de la figure centrale d'Anna Akhmatova, emblématique de l'âge d'argent russe, à travers les complexes rapports d'opposition et de filiation que la poésie russe entretient avec l'Europe depuis le début du XIX e siècle, des chercheurs, des poètes, des traducteurs s'interrogent sur l'existence d'une ' poésie européenne ', unifiée par le regard de celle qui, de son pays à la frontière de deux continents, y est à la fois extérieure et en est très profondément l'héritière. Les notions comparatistes traditionnelles d'analogie, de parenté et d'influence se laissent préciser et affiner au regard d'une oeuvre composée comme un immense choeur accordé selon de nouvelles lois et faisant de la parole poétique une source, voire la seule, de l'existence, dépassant peut-être ainsi toute notion de poésie nationale pour toucher à l'universel.Les contributions de chercheurs comparatistes ou slavisants, français et russes, s'organisent selon plusieurs axes - Akhmatova en dialogue avec les poètes européens ; Akhmatova comme poète européen ; les questions de traduction et de transmission - mais l'ouvrage inclut également les témoignages de poètes et d'intellectuels au sujet de leur rencontre avec Akhmatova ou à travers la lecture de ses vers. Il propose également de nouvelles traductions d'Akhmatova en français. Enfin, des poèmes inédits d'auteurs européens contemporains qui ont composé sous l'inspiration akhmatovienne témoignent de l'écho européen d'une voix contre laquelle la censure s'est acharnée sans l'étouffer et qui reste un surgeon toujours fécond dans la lignée de la poésie la plus existentielle.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The emergence of contemporary Australian and English-Canadian multicultural drama undoubtedly constitutes a fascinating development in the history of international literatures written in English. These postcolonial plays offer ideal vantage points from which to observe the struggle of two comparable Commonwealth countries to accommodate the pluralism of their social fabric. As the prominent theatre scholars of this collection cogently argue, the articulation of otherness forms a central concern in the drama of these two countries. The postcolonial playwrights studied in this book interpret marginality as an expression of resistance against the legacy of Empire, often through the weapon of subversive mimicry. The organising spatial metaphor of the book suggests new readings of the 'other' as an evolving site of contestation. This volume articulates a new form of comparative poetics, in which dramatic texts are used as reflecting mirrors, as privileged tools to explore the similarity and otherness that Australia and Canada share.
