From Aristotle onward, theatre has been regulated by three strains of critical \u003ci\u003epoiesis:\u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eliterary,\u003c\/i\u003e segregating theatre and the practices of the spectacular from the humanizing work attributed to the book and to the internality of reading; the \u003ci\u003edramatic,\u003c\/i\u003e approving the address of theatrical performance only to the extent that it instrumentalizes literary value; and the \u003ci\u003etheatrical,\u003c\/i\u003e assimilating performance to the conjunction of literary and liberal values. These values have been used to figure not only the work of theatre, but also the propriety of the audience as a figure for its socializing work, along a privileged dualism from the aestheticized \u003ci\u003eensemble\u003c\/i\u003e—harmonizing actor, character, and spectator to the essentialized drama—to the politicized \u003ci\u003eassembly,\u003c\/i\u003e theatre understood as an agonistic gathering.   \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030440688\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-44066-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 301\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47529634398348,"sku":"9783030440688","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030440688.jpg?v=1776043991","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030440688","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
