Abstract

The monograph "Hand Gestures in Traditional Indian Theatre" deals with a traditional Indian acting style, particularly with hand gestures. Its focus lies in a specific form of actor-viewer communication, a communication conducted by means of mudras, or symbolic hand positions. Mudras make up an autonomous language system that can express every single thought or emotion. The research is based on ancient and contemporary theatre literature in Sanskrit, English and French, chiefly on poetics and acting manuals, and on contemporary practice of traditional theatre and dance in India. The most important sources of the research were the kootiyattam and kathakali theatres.

Abstract

In the ecological challenges of the twenty-first century, interculturally sensitive understandings of nature, place, and environment are essential for the development of a planetary community. Acknowledging that the future of humankind is global, this volume explores the multi-faceted semantics of ecology in contemporary Indigenous theater and performance. Focusing on works by such eminent Indigenous artists as Tomson Highway, Drew Hayden Taylor, Marie Clements, Yvette Nolan, Kevin Loring, Wesley Enoch, Hone Kouka, Briar Grace-Smith, and Witi Ihimaera, the volume brings together a spectrum of ecological perspectives from Europe, North America, and Oceania. By tracing the multiple Indigenous configurations of the relationships between humans and their environment, the essays collected in Enacting Nature offer contributions to the fields of comparative Indigenous Studies, performance studies, and ecocriticism alike.

Abstract

Ce livre rassemble et retrace des reflexions qui fondent ma pratique et ma conception du theâtre qui s'est construite de 1984 à 2020. Pour moi, la fonction de l'art est sacree et notre theâtre remonte aussi loin que notre presence precolombienne à l'echelle des trois Ameriques. Aussi, ce recueil comprend des textes de fond, des entretiens, de la poesie, des prises de position politique, des denonciations, des textes sur l'histoire ininterrompue de ma nation Wendakeha'ga rhonon (huronne-wendate) et sur celles d'autres nations qui traduisent ici une lutte, une quête, une ethique. Le theâtre est essentiel à la decolonisation culturelle et sociale en cours chez les Autochtones, les Canadiens et les Quebecois. C'est aussi un art qui nous relie à nos racines precolombiennes. Pour moi, les Ameriques se sont bâties sur un genocide souhaite, mais irrealise. Aujourd'hui à la grandeur des trois Ameriques, nous poursuivons cette marche pacifique vers une redefinition identitaire historique qui refondera la justice pour l'ensemble des trois Ameriques au moment même où les consequences du rechauffement climatique atteignent le point de non-retour.
