Description
For a number of years, a theory on contemporary political theatre based on a politics of aesthetics has been called for. This book takes on this task by building on Hannah Arendt's political philosophy and combines it with Jacques Rancière's Politics of Aesthetics and Bruno Latour's Iconoclash to develop the concept of Mediaclash. By looking back at the polis from Rancière's point of view, the author explains how theatre can be political without any explicit political statements. Mediaclash makes it possible to analyze and describe the complex politicity of contemporary multi- and intermedial theatre productions. Analyses of Christoph Schlingensief's “Bambiland” and Stefan Kaegi's “Torero Portero” link theory and practice and provide a first application of Mediaclash to contemporary theatre productions.
