Book excerpt: "This book is a historical account about the negotiation of creativity in the American theatre. It is a history of how the American theatre organized its relationships and how stakeholders, and in particular dramatists, responded to these developments. The book examines how copyright law has interacted with the American theatre in dynamic and counterintuitive ways, helping to facilitate theatrical production between authors of original copyright works and audiences. But copyright plays only a supporting role in the much larger theatrical economy. This is a history of how the industry was shaped by the evolution of mediating businesses and the practices they established. The growth in mediating businesses, and responses to these developments, has accompanied enduring ambiguities about the authority dramatists are often assumed to have over the work they create"--

Download or read book Monarchy Political Culture and Drama in Seventeenth Century Madrid written by Jodi Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early modern Spain, theater reached the height of its popularity during the same decades in which Spanish monarchs were striving to consolidate their power. Jodi Campbell uses the dramatic production of seventeenth-century Madrid to understand how ordinary Spaniards perceived the political developments of this period. Through a study of thirty-three plays by four of the most popular playwrights of Madrid (Pedro Caldern de la Barca, Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla, Juan de Matos Fragoso, and Juan Bautista Diamante), Campbell analyzes portrayals of kingship during what is traditionally considered to be the age of absolutism and highlights the differences between the image of kingship cultivated by the monarchy and that presented on Spanish stages. A surprising number of plays performed and published in Madrid in the seventeenth century, Campbell shows, featured themes about kingship: debates over the qualities that make a good king, tests of a king's abilities, and stories about the conflicts that could arise between the personal interests of a king and the best interest of his subjects. Rather than supporting the absolutist and centralizing policies of the monarchy, popular theater is shown here to favor the idea of reciprocal obligations between subjects and monarch. This study contributes new evidence to the trend of recent scholarship that revises our views of early modern Spanish absolutism, arguing for the significance of the perspectives of ordinary people to the realm of politics.
Download or read book A Theater of Diplomacy written by Ellen R. Welch and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth-century French diplomat François de Callières once wrote that "an ambassador resembles in some way an actor exposed on the stage to the eyes of the public in order to play great roles." The comparison of the diplomat to an actor became commonplace as the practice of diplomacy took hold in early modern Europe. More than an abstract metaphor, it reflected the rich culture of spectacular entertainment that was a backdrop to emissaries' day-to-day lives. Royal courts routinely honored visiting diplomats or celebrated treaty negotiations by staging grandiose performances incorporating dance, music, theater, poetry, and pageantry. These entertainments—allegorical ballets, masquerade balls, chivalric tournaments, operas, and comedies—often addressed pertinent themes such as war, peace, and international unity in their subject matter. In both practice and content, the extravagant exhibitions were fully intertwined with the culture of diplomacy. But exactly what kind of diplomatic work did these spectacles perform? Ellen R. Welch contends that the theatrical and performing arts had a profound influence on the development of modern diplomatic practices in early modern Europe. Using France as a case study, Welch explores the interconnected histories of international relations and the theatrical and performing arts. Her book argues that theater served not merely as a decorative accompaniment to negotiations, but rather underpinned the practices of embodied representation, performance, and spectatorship that constituted the culture of diplomacy in this period. Through its examination of the early modern precursors to today's cultural diplomacy initiatives, her book investigates the various ways in which performance structures international politics still.

Download or read book The Political Theatre of David Edgar written by Janelle Reinelt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Edgar's writings address the most basic questions of how humans organize and govern themselves in modern societies. This study brings together the disciplines of political philosophy and theatre studies to approach the leading British playwright as a political writer and a public social critic. Edgar uses theatre as a powerful tool of public discourse, an aesthetic modality for engaging with and thinking/feeling through the most pressing social issues of the day. In this he is a supreme rationalist: he deploys character, plot and language to explore ideas, to make certain kinds of discursive cases and model hypothetical alternatives. Reinelt and Hewitt analyze twelve of Edgar's most important plays, including Maydays and Pentecost, and also provide detailed discussions of key performances and critical reception to illustrate the playwright's artistic achievement in relation to his contributions as a public figure in British cultural life.

Download or read book Negotiating Power and Care in Spaces of Theatrical Collaboration written by Rachael Goldsmith Zucker and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This combined Gender Studies and Theatre thesis examines the negotiation of power dynamics in theatre devising and rehearsal spaces, particularly in regards to race, gender, and class through the lens of queer kink negotiation. I examine how queer kink draws attention to invisibilized structural power dynamics; centers agencies with less social power; practices multiple, context-specific forms of negotiation; disidentifies with white, capitalist cisheteroscripts--offering queerer scripts instead; and experiences power dynamics as generative, playful, and pleasure-full. Thinking with María Puig de la Bellacasa’s Matters of Care, José Esteban Muñoz’ Disidentifications and anti-antiutopianism, Robin Bauer’s work on BDSM in les-bi-trans-queer communities, and transformative justice facilitators such as adrienne maree brown, among many other authors, this paper offers a liberatory practice of generative negotiation, care, and accountability in the midst of a complex, interdependent web of social power relations. I interviewed nine (largely non-hierarchical) theatre companies as case studies about the role of capitalism in their relation with time and money, how conflict and power dynamics are addressed, their process of community agreements and accountability, how they engage with their community to work toward systemic change, how they interact and negotiate with the audience, and how care enters into the process of collaborating with one another. Additionally, I embarked on my own devised theatre project with my partner to examine possibilities for how negotiation amidst power dynamics can play out.

Download or read book The Art of Negotiation written by Michael Wheeler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A member of the world renowned Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School introduces the powerful next-generation approach to negotiation. For many years, two approaches to negotiation have prevailed: the “win-win” method exemplified in Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher, William Ury, and Bruce Patton; and the hard-bargaining style of Herb Cohen’s You Can Negotiate Anything. Now award-winning Harvard Business School professor Michael Wheeler provides a dynamic alternative to one-size-fits-all strategies that don’t match real world realities. The Art of Negotiation shows how master negotiators thrive in the face of chaos and uncertainty. They don’t trap themselves with rigid plans. Instead they understand negotiation as a process of exploration that demands ongoing learning, adapting, and influencing. Their agility enables them to reach agreement when others would be stalemated. Michael Wheeler illuminates the improvisational nature of negotiation, drawing on his own research and his work with Program on Negotiation colleagues. He explains how the best practices of diplomats such as George J. Mitchell, dealmaker Bruce Wasserstein, and Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub apply to everyday transactions like selling a house, buying a car, or landing a new contract. Wheeler also draws lessons on agility and creativity from fields like jazz, sports, theater, and even military science.

Book excerpt: "Klaver applies post-structuralist theories of subjectivity to drama while ranging through Beckett's plays, National Hockey League games, The Tonight Show, gay and lesbian drama, minority drama, avant-garde performance, and the topics of theatrical paranoia, the mediatized Imaginary, and the spectatorial gaze. By navigating the political minefield of television sex and violence, Klaver shows how drama can subvert those ideologies that would discipline the performance arts."--BOOK JACKET.
