Bernhardt's multiple personas and otherness were what fascinated the American public; her name, her eccentricities, and her genius had already made her world famous. Sarah Bernhardt's first...

ISBN: 9780786423361 / Angielski / Miękka / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Academy Award-winning screenwriter of the film American Beauty and creator of the HBO series Six Feet Under, Alan Ball has consistently probed the cultural forces shaping gender, sexuality, and death in the United States. Through gritty dialogue and edgy humor, Ball centers much of his social critique on the illusory promises of the American Dream.

This is the first book to...

ISBN: 9780786427741 / Angielski / Miękka / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Costume production distinguishes early civilization from the Paleolithic era as much as architectural production. Costume transcends boundaries, as it first unites and then divides mankind.

This annotated bibliography of 603 references, taken from monographs, dissertations, festschrifts, periodicals, encyclopedias and handbooks, is the most comprehensive research tool for the...

ISBN: 9780786428779 / Angielski / Miękka / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As the media have increasingly become the lens through which we see the world, media styles have shaped even the fine arts, and contemporary theatre is particularly indebted to mass media's dramatic influence. In order to stay culturally and financially viable, theatre producers have associated theatrical productions and their promotion with film, television, and the Internet by adopting new theatrical practices that mirror the form and content of mass communication. This work demonstrates how mediatization, or the adoption of the semantics and the contexts of mass media, has changed...

This book describes the parallel lives of Athenian democracy and Athenian tragedy?how and why they concurrently arose, blossomed and died, shaped especially by a fatal Athenian penchant for war.
