Rethinking Roland Barthes Through PerformanceAuthor :
Hardback
Published : Thursday 15 June 2023
Description
Through a series of reflections from internationally renowned performance-makers and contextualising essays from leading theatre and performance scholars, this is the first book to map the influence of Roland Barthes on performance. The contributions are framed through Barthesâ?Ts notion of The Neutral â?" the suspension of binary choice that offers a welcome antidote to the political deadlock of our present moment. They cover the breadth of Barthesâ?Ts work from Mythologies (1957) to â?~The Death of the Authorâ?T (1967), A Loverâ?Ts Discourse (1977), Camera Lucida (1980), to the more recently available lecture courses at the CollA"ge de France. Together, they capture and rethink a range of Barthesâ?Ts preoccupations, from his early writing on myths and meaning to personal reflections on love, loss and desire, and interrogate the intersections between Barthesâ?Ts work and contemporary theatre and performance. This book invites readers to approach Barthesâ?Ts writing from a breadth of creative-critical perspectives, to become more aware of the importance of his late thought for thinking through a range of dramaturgical forms, and to become more familiar with the work of internationally significant performance practitioners.
