| Abstract | "Exploring a wide variety of examples of activist performances, such as David Buckel's self-immolation, and the January 6th capitol insurrection, this book analyses activist performance through the lens of post-dramatic theatre theory. In response to an increase in political demonstrations world-wide , scholars, artists and activists from diverse disciplines have produced an exciting array of practical and theoretical approaches for thinking through activism. Utilizing these interdisciplinary approaches, Scrimer offers a theoretical inquiry into the possible applications of postdramatic theatre theory in the context of political activism, and subsequently extends an alternative conceptual model for activist performance beyond the dramatic paradigm"-- Provided by publisher. |
