Theatre, Activism, Subjectivity : Searching for the Left in a Fragmented World Hardback
Edited by Bishnupriya Dutt, Silvija Jestrovic
Part of the Theatre: Theory – Practice – Performance series
Hardback
Description
Through the lens of performance and politics, this collection zooms in on the context-specific dimensions, analogies, and micro-histories of the Left to better understand the larger picture. It proposes a search for the Left not from totalising Leftist ideological positions and partisan politics but from ethical dimensions through smaller-scale Left-leaning struggles; not from the political to the aesthetic, but from the potentiality of art to offer new political imagination and critique; not from the individual subordinated to the collective, but from the dialectics of subjectivity and collectivity.
This is not an attempt at a sweeping global overview of Leftist cultures either, but a collection that brings together culture-specific and comparative perspectives.
This book searches for fragments of and on the Left, past and present, through which to rethink and patch a fragmented world. -- .
