Description

Investigates the current state of the field of theatre and performance studies both in terms of the diverse range of critical approaches to it and in terms of the latest developments in repertoire. Critical methods surveyed include historiographical approaches (new historicism and cultural histories), theoretical developments such as postmodernism and post-structuralism, ritual and ethnographic studies. These approaches will be analysed in terms of a range of forms from melodrama to the rise of the modern theatre movement.
