Paperback. Condition: Good. Within the last ten years there has been a renaissance in Irish drama from both sides of the border, including award-winning work which has transfered to London and New York, and has toured Britain as well as Europe and Australia. This book explores the dynamics of the relationship between these representations of Ireland and the fluid nature of cultural identity, especially during a period of economic and political change. Although the book establishes the historical context for contemporary Irish drama, and does include discussion of some of the earlier works of Brian Friel, Frank MacGuinness and Tom Murphy, the emphasis lies on their more recent work from 1980, and especially upon work created by new writers performed during the 1990's, during the emergence of the 'Celtic tiger economy' in the Republic, and the Peace Process in the North. Key themes provide the structure of the book, which examines especially those theatrical strategies which have been associated with the performance of identity, particularly in a post-colonial situation. References are also made to interviews with writers, performers, directors and groups, as well as performances seen across Ireland and Britain. Contemporary critical perspectives from post-colonial theory to psychoanalysis and performance praxis are deployed, but in an accessible way. In contrast to the tensions associated with the colonising relationship between Ireland and Britain, the relationship between Ireland and Europe are considered in terms of cultural and economic influences and performance practices, and that between Ireland and America in terms of the 'dream of the West', the diaspora and tourism. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This new collection will add significantly to the body of scholarship on this important dramatist. This is the first study of the whole body of Weskers work, and will create new interest in this partly forgotten key figure in post-war British theatre. A new study of Weskers work is overdue. The editors are recognized scholars in the field with a track record of publication on British theatre. An impressive list of contributors comprises important scholars of post-war theatre including John Bull and Chris Megson alongside practitioners such as Edward Bond and Pamela Howard, who bring professional insights to bear. Arnold Wesker was hailed in the press as one of the great overlooked of British drama when he died in April 2016. Despite his pivotal engagement with the cultural politics of 1960s Britain and his international career, only a fraction of Weskers dramatic output tends to be studied. He is still remembered and discussed as the author of The Trilogy, three plays staged between 195860 that fail to reflect the daring aesthetics of his later work, thereby perpetuating an incorrect image of a naturalist playwright. This important new book aims to remedy the recent critical neglect of the dramatist, building on existing scholarship and introducing new insights and perspectives. It examines the whole body of Weskers work for the first time, including some of his non-dramatic work, and considers it from a variety of perspectives. These include Weskers reception in Europe, his Jewishness and his attitude to politics and tocommunity. Significant use is made of material from the Arnold Wesker archive, held by the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin, USA. It includes chapters on Weskers representation of, and attitude towards, women, his relationship with his Jewish origins and identity, and his role in establishing Centre 42 following his imprisonment for participation in the Aldermaston March in 1959. Centre 42 was initially a touring festival aimed at devolving art and culture from London to the other working class towns of Britain, and arose from Resolution 42 of the 1960Trades Union Congress, which concerned the importance of arts in the community. It will be of most interest to academics and scholars of post-war British theatre, and to those teaching theatre and drama. It is accessible for a student readership at all undergraduate levels, as well as postgraduates. It has potential for textbook and reading list use. Weskers significance in British theatre history of the 1950s and 1960s means that the book may find readers amongst the informed general public. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Governments around the world spend millions on art and cultural institutions, evidence of a basic human need for what the author refers to as 'creating aesthetic significance'. Yet what function or purpose does art satisfy in todays society?

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The new practice of art-based research uses art making as a primary mode of enquiry rather than continuing to borrow research methodologies from other disciplines to study artistic processes. Drawing on contributions from arts therapies, education, history, organizational studies, and philosophy, the essays critically examine unique challenges that include the personal and sometimes intimate nature of artistic enquiry and the complexities of the partnership with social science which has dominated applied arts research; how artistic discoveries are apt to emerge spontaneously, even contrary to plans and what we think we know; how truth can be examined through both fact and fiction as well as the interplay of objective and subjective experience; and ways of generating artistic evidence and communicating outcomes. Offering examples from all of the arts this volume will be welcomed by researchers and students in many fields. Drawing on contributions from arts therapies, education, history, organizational studies, and philosophy, this book contains essays that critically examine challenges that include the personal nature of artistic inquiry and the complexities of the partnership with social science that has dominated applied arts research.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Federico Fellinis distinct style delighted generations of film viewers and inspired filmmakers and artists around the world. In Fellinis Films and Commercials: From Postwar to Postmodern, renowned Fellini scholar Frank Burke presents a film-by-film analysis of the famed directors cinematic output from a theoretical perspective. The book explores Fellinis movement from relatively classic filmmaking to modernist reflexivity and then to postmodern reproduction. Burke moves from analysis of stories told from a relatively objective standpoint, to increased concentration on Fellini-as-author and on the cinematic apparatus, to Fellinis dismantling of authorship and cinematic apparatus, to his postmodern signifying strategies. Grounded in poststructuralist approaches to texts and signification, Burke shows that Fellini is profoundly readable, if extremely complex. Revisiting Burkes 1996 Fellinis Films: From Postwar to Postmodern, this new edition includes revised material from the original, plus a new preface and new chapter on the filmmakers work on commercials. Elegantly written and thoroughly researched, this book is essential reading for Fellini fans and scholars. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
