Böcker i New Dramaturgies-serien

This book illuminates the shift in approaches to the uses of theatre and performance technology in the past twenty-five years and develops an account of new media dramaturgy (NMD), an approach to theatre informed by what the technology itself seems to want to say.

Dramaturgy and Architecture approaches modern and postmodern theatre's contribution to the way we think about the buildings and spaces we inhabit. It discusses in detail ways in which theatre and performance have critiqued and intervened in everyday spaces, modelled our dreams or fears and made proposals for the future.

This series seeks to develop understanding of dramaturgy as a contemporary field, in dialogue with its rich and varied past. The prefix ''new'' invites authors to pay attention to the expansion or re-framing of dramaturgy in relation to contemporary contexts, rather than implying a requirement to replace ''old'' with ''new'', or to offer a programmatic approach to the definition and practice of dramaturgy.The series will comprise two strands: ΓÇó Course texts which encompass fresh and original research insights on key themes related to dramaturgy, at an accessible level for students and non-experts; ΓÇó More specialized work which includes a higher level of theorisation.The books in this series will, for example: look at the dramaturgical implications of new media, globalisation and forms of spectatorship; draw on an ''expanded'' use of dramaturgical analysis to examine the relationship between theatrical performance and other disciplines; discuss dramaturgical practice and theory, across a range of perspectives and geographies. Aims of the series:ΓÇóTo foster international dialogue and exchange, extending understanding of the complex contexts of dramaturgy and embracing its diversity and scopeΓÇóTo examine and deploy dramaturgical thinking as a productive analytical and practical approach to performance criticism as well as performance-makingΓÇóTo offer theoretical discussion of dramaturgy as a fieldΓÇóTo investigate the relationship between idea and form in contemporary practice, including practice-as-researchΓÇóTo discuss emerging areas of contemporary performance practice that produce new dramaturgies or re-contextualise existing approachesΓÇóTo provide English-language texts for teaching dramaturgy in Higher EducationΓÇóTo build on existing overviews of dramaturgy and of contemporary performance practice to discuss specific aspects of dramaturgy in detail, applying historical and theoretical rigour

This book addresses theatre's contribution to the way we think about ecology, our relationship to the environment, and what it means to be human in the context of climate change.
