What is the Theatre?

What is the Theatre?

What is the Theatre? is one of the most coherent and systematic descriptions and analyses of the theatre yet compiled. Theatre is above all spectacle. It is a fleeting performance delivered by actors and intended for spectators. It is a work of the body an exercise of voice and gesture addressed to an audience most often in a specific location and with a unique setting. This entertainment event rests on the delivery of a thing promised and expected – a particular and unique performance witnessed by spectators who have come to the site of the performance for this very reason. To witness theatre is to take into account the performance but it is also to take into account the printed text as readable object and a written proposition. In this book Christian Biet and Christophe Triau focus on the practical theoretical and historical positions that the spectator and the reader have had in relation to the locations that they frequent and the texts that they handle. They adopt two approaches: analysing the spectacle in its theatrical and historical context in an attempt to seek out the principles and paradigms of approaching the theatre experience on one hand and analysing the dramaturgy of a production in order to establish lines of interpretation and how to read represent and stage a text on the other. This approach allows us to better understand the ties that link those who participate in the theatre to the practitioners who create theatrical entertainment.

What is Europe?

What is Europe?

This authoritative yet accessible introduction to understanding Europe today moves beyond accounts of European integration to provide a wide-ranging and nuanced study of contemporary Europe and its historical development. This fully updated edition adds material on recent developments such as Brexit and the migrant and Eurozone crises. The concept of Europe is instilled with a plethora of social cultural economic and political meanings. Throughout history and still today scholars writing on Europe and politicians involved in national or European politics often disagree on the geographic limits of this space and the defining elements of Europe. Europe is therefore first and foremost a concept that takes different shapes and meanings depending on the realm of life on which it is applied and on the historical period under investigation. At a given point in time depending on the perspective we adopt and the situation in which we find ourselves Europe may represent very different things. Thus we should better talk about ‘Europes’ in plural. What is Europe? explores these evolving conceptions of Europe from antiquity to the present. This book is all the more timely as Europe responds to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Britain’s departure from the European Union financial slump refugee emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic. This book offers a fully updated introduction to European studies from an interdisciplinary perspective. It is a crucial companion to any undergraduate or graduate course on Europe and the European Union.

What is Colonialism?

What is Colonialism?

What is Colonialism? develops a clear and rigorous account of what colonialism is and how it works. It draws on and synthesizes recent work in cognitive science affective science and social psychology along with Marxism and related forms of analysis. Hogan begins with some fundamental conceptual distinctions such as the degree to which a group shares beliefs dispositions and skills versus the degree to which they share identification with a category. Building on these distinctions he defines colonialism in terms of political economic and cultural autonomy clarifying the nature of culture and autonomy particularly. He goes on to articulate an invaluable systematic account of the varieties of colonialism. The final chapters outline the motives of imperialists differentiating these from their ideological rationalizations and sketching the harms caused by colonialism. The book concludes by considering when or if one can achieve a genuinely postcolonial condition. Hogan illustrates these analyses by examining influential literary works—by European writers (such as Joseph Conrad) and by non-Europeans (such as Athol Fugard Kamala Markandaya and Wole Soyinka). This accessible and informative volume is the ideal resource for students and scholars interested in colonialism and empire.

What is Soul?

What is Soul?

Rooted in the metaphysics of bygone times the notion of soul in our Western tradition is packed with associations and meanings that are incompatible with the anthropological and naturalistic thinking that prevails in modernity. Whereas treatises of old conceived of the soul as an infinite immaterial substance which was the ground of man’s hope for eternal salvation modern psychology has for the most part discarded the concept in favor of more tangible touchstones such as the emotions desires and attachments which characterize man as a finite bodily-existing positive fact. An exception to this trend has been the analytical psychology of C. G. Jung. Against the positivistic spirit of his times Jung insisted upon a ‘psychology with soul ’ that is a psychology based upon the hypothesis of an autonomous mind. In this volume Wolfgang Giegerich once again takes up the Jungian commitment to a psychology with soul. Agreeing with Jung that the soul concept is indispensable for a truly psychological psychology he supplements and re-orients the Jungian approach to both this concept and the phenomenology of the soul by means of a whole series of nuanced discussions that are as rigorous as they are thoroughgoing. The result is nothing short of a tour de force. Tarrying with the negative Giegerich’s particular contribution resides in his showing the movement against the soul to be the soul’s own doing. In animus moments of itself consciousness in the form of philosophy and Enlightenment reason turned upon itself as religion and metaphysics. Far from abolishing the soul however these incisive negations were themselves negated. As if dancing upon its own demise the soul came home to itself not as an invisible metaphysical substance but more invisibly still as the logically negative evaporation of that substance into the form of subject or even better said into psychology. | What is Soul?

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy? attempts to redefine music literacy with a more expansive meaning than is commonly in use and to articulate the potential impact of these ideas on music teaching practice. The notion of music literacy has involved the ability to read and write music scores. However this understanding does not extend theory to identify all music texts nor to offer a thorough treatment of what impact an expanded notion of music literacy might have on music instruction in the classroom and in ensembles. This book provides a formal expansive redefinition of music literacy. The author offers practical ideas for attending more effectively to music literacy in classroom instruction. The book highlights common elements in the music classroom: the music score the conductor surrounding ensemble members the musical model the musical instrument and presentations/recordings. It also describes four orientations that correspond to the National Core Music Standards (2014) and that characterize humans’ interactions with music: creator performer responder and connector. What is Music Literacy? uses these orientations along with a focus on authentic music texts and literacies to present literacy-based guidelines for music education along with numerous vignettes that describe actual literacy instructional events. | What is Music Literacy?

What Even Is Gender?

What Even Is Gender?

Debates about gender are everywhere. Is it an inner identity a biological fact or an oppressive system? Should we respect it or resist it? What Even Is Gender? shifts the conversation in a fresh direction arguing that these debates rest on a shared mistake: the idea that there is one thing called gender that both sides are arguing about. The authors distinguish a range of phenomena that established vocabulary often lumps together. This sheds light on the equivocations and false dichotomies of gender talk and how they deny many of us the tools to make our needs experiences and concerns intelligible to others or even to ourselves. The authors develop a conceptual toolkit that helps alleviate the harms that result from the limitations of familiar approaches. They propose a pluralistic concept of gender feels that distinguishes among our experiences of diverse facets of gendered life. They develop a flexible approach to gender categories that reflects the value of self-determination. And they suggest that what we need is not one universal language of gender but an awareness of individual variation and a willingness to adjust to changing contexts and circumstances. A bold and thought-provoking approach to thinking about gender What Even Is Gender? will be of great interest to those in philosophy gender studies sociology and LGBTQIA+ studies.

The Castration Complex What is So Natural About Sexuality?

The Castration Complex What is So Natural About Sexuality?

This book illustrates that the Castration Complex and the question of the distinction between the sexes are enmeshed in psychoanalytic theories. The subjective negotiation of this distinction impacts the future sexual positions taken up (or not) by the subject indicating that human sexuality is by no means a given or a natural occurrence in psychoanalysis. Engagement with the psychoanalytic theory of castration provides the reader with a different perspective on the current society’s insistence on gradually dissolving the differences between the sexes. For Freud castration complex is the key to understanding the psychical consequences of the anatomical distinction between the sexes. For Lacan castration introduces the subject to his/her very existence as a sexed being. Mou Sultana illustrates how these two revolutionary theorists came to such conclusions by close reading of the core texts interpreting them and highlighting their relevance both within and outside the clinic of modern times. | The Castration Complex What is So Natural About Sexuality?
