Om The Politics of Interweaving Performance Cultures
This book provides a timely intervention in the fields of performance studies and theatre history, and to larger issues of global cultural exchange. The authors offer a provocative argument for rethinking the scholarly assessment of how diverse performative cultures interact, are interwoven, and are dependent upon each other. While the term `intercultural theatre¿ as a concept points back to postcolonialism and its contradictions, this book explores global developments in the performing arts that cannot be explained and understood using postcolonial theory. The authors challenge the dichotomy `the West and the rest¿, as well as ideas of national culture and cultural ownership.
