Eric Nicholson

Transnational Exchange in Early Modern Theater (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Henke, Robert

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Emphasizing a performative and stage-centered approach, this book considers early modern European theater as an international phenomenon. Early modern theater was remarkable both in the ways that it represented material and symbolic exchanges across borders but also in the ways that it enacted them. In analyzing theater as a medium of dialogic communication, the volume emphasizes cultural relationships of exchange and reciprocity more than unilateral encounters of hegemony and domination.
