Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 45.95?We have good reason to be wary of mise en scène, but that is all the more reason to question this wariness ... it seems that images from a performance come back to haunt us, as if to prolong and transform our experience as spectators, as if to force us to rethink the event, to return to our pleasure or our terror.? ? Patrice Pavis, from the... more...
Theatre & Performance in Small Nations
Intellect 2013; US$ 20.00Many commentators have routinely referred to theatre and, to an extent, all forms of live performance as particularly appropriate to the discussion of national identity.

Narrating the Past through Theatre
Palgrave Macmillan 2012; US$ 38.00This cutting-edge title explores how narrating the past both conflicts and creates an interesting relationship with drama's 'continuing present' that arcs towards an unpredictable future.

Time and Narrative, Volume 1
University of Chicago Press 2012; US$ 18.00Time and Narrative builds on Paul Ricoeur's earlier analysis, in The Rule of Metaphor , of semantic innovation at the level of the sentence.

Ricoeur finds a "healthy circle" between time and narrative: time is humanized... more...
