Performances of Capitalism, Crises and Resistance
Discussing crises through diverse examples, including the UK's National Theatre, public art installations, Occupy LSX, repatriation ceremonies and performances of the everyday, this book asks how performance captures and resists what is considered (politically, ideologically, culturally or socially) 'inside' or 'outside' Europe.
Tragedy and Dramatic Theatre
This comprehensive, authoritative account of tragedy is the culmination of Hans-Thies Lehmann’s groundbreaking contributions to theatre and performance scholarship. It is a major milestone in our understanding of this core foundation of the dramatic arts. From the philosophical roots and theories of tragedy, through its inextricable relationship with drama, to its impact upon post-dramatic forms, this is the definitive work in its field. Lehmann plots a course through the history of dramatic thought, taking in Aristotle, Plato, Seneca, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Lacan, Shakespeare, Schiller, Holderlin, Wagner, Maeterlinck, Yeats, Brecht, Kantor, Heiner Müller and Sarah Kane.
Before Auschwitz
Nazis began detaining Jews in camps as soon as they came to power in 1933. Kim Wünschmann reveals the origin of these extralegal detention sites, the harsh treatment Jews received there, and the message the camps sent to Germans: that Jews were enemies of the state, dangerous to associate with and fair game for acts of intimidation and violence.
The Palgrave Handbook of Embodiment and Learning
This handbook provides an important overview of corporeality, embodiment and learning in education from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Situating the body at the centre of educational practice, the editors and contributors introduce the concept of ‘tact’ as a practical corporeal language. The chapters provide a spectrum of historical, conceptual, empirical and practical educational approaches for embodied pedagogical engagement. Tact and embodied knowledge form a significant component of a teacher’s capability and professionalism: interacting with students, a pedagogue responds to them tactfully, emotionally, sensitively, and reflectively searching for the right thing to do, the right words to say, improvising in aural, linguistic, spatial, and visual way that are as restrained as they are enabled by the body. This handbook questions the familiar and established essentialist and naturalist view of the body to allow new perspectives on how corporeality affects learners. It will be of interest to scholars in education and philosophy as well as those researching in across social sciences.

Mises en scène d'Allemagne(s)
Depuis plusieurs décennies, la scène allemande est l’objet d’une fascination sans équivalent dans le monde. En France tout particulièrement : à peine remis de l’± éblouissement » (R. Barthes) du Berliner Ensemble, le public a pu découvrir, dès les années 1970, une nouvelle génération de metteurs en scène qui renouvelait profondément les modes de travail et les enjeux de la création théâtrale. D’autres depuis ont suivi sans discontinuer, au point que l’exceptionnelle vitalité de ce paysage artistique apparaît toujours comme un modèle et un point de référence obligé.
Von der Darstellbarkeit des Anderen
Die Darstellbarkeit des Anderen ist eine der zentralen Fragen der Theatertheorie und -praxis. In einer theaterwissenschaftlichen Lektüre philosophischer Positionen im Anschluss an Levinas und einer detaillierten Betrachtung von fünf szenischen Arbeiten stellt sich Mayte Zimmermanns Untersuchung dieser Problematik und nimmt szenische Rücksicht auf die Grenzen von Darstellbarkeit. Sie zeigt: Dem Auftritt als erkenn- und verstehbarer Figur, in deren Namen (Darstellungs-)Politik betrieben werden kann, wohnt automatisch Gewalt inne – solange nicht nach dem gefragt wird, was in der Darstellung qua ihrer Formen Anderes bleiben muss.
