Exposed by the Mask: Form and Language in Drama
ISBN: 9781840021820 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In these four lectures Peter Hall reveals a lifetime of discoveries about classical theatre, Shakespeare, opera and modern drama. The central argument is that form and structured language paradoxically give freedom to power of thought and feeling, much as the masks of early Greek drama enabled actors to express extreme emotion. The mask may take many forms – the precise language of Beckett and Pinter, the classical form of Mozart’s operas, or Shakespeare’s verse. Reprinted to form part of the Oberon Masters series, a brand new collection of attractive hardbacks on key themes within the...

What is the impact of three decades of neoliberal narratives and policies on communities and individual lives? What are the sources of social resilience?

The Politics of Representation in the Global Age: Identification, Mobilization, and Adjudication

The representation of interests is at the heart of democracy, but how is it that some interests secure a strong voice, while others do not? While each person has multiple interests linked to different dimensions of his or her identity, much of the existing academic literature assumes that interests are given prior to politics by a person's socioeconomic, institutional, or cultural situation. This book mounts a radical challenge to this view, arguing that interests are actively forged through processes of...
