Das Drama ist eine der relevantesten Strukturen in einer sich globalisierenden und transmedial erweiternden Kultur. In seiner historischen Konstanz wie Wandlungsfähigkeit - vom Dionysostheater bis zur aktuellen Qualitätsserie - bleibt es, trotz performativer Ästhetiken, höchst aktuell.Die Publikation bietet eine umfassende historische wie systematische Darstellung aus literatur- und theaterwissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird auf die Verbindung zwischen informierendem Überblick und Ausdifferenzierungen wie Transformationen des Dramas gelegt. Berücksichtigt wird die Integration des Dramas in theatrale Institutionen und deren Produktionsprozesse, ebenso ästhetische Distanzierungen bzw. mediale Reflexionen oder Dekonstruktionen. Neben verschiedenen Dramaturgien und Kontexten wie Politik, Wirtschaft, Zensur, Didaktik oder Psychologie werden postdramatische und außereuropäische Formen behandelt, zudem transdisziplinäre Bezüge zu neueren Medien wie Film, TV-Serie, Computerspiel, Musiktheater und Tanz hergestellt.Dem Band gelingt ein kompakter Überblick, der dem Drama in seiner systematischen wie historischen Komplexität gerecht wird.

In Black Dragon, Zachary F. Price illuminates martial arts as a site of knowledge exchange between Black, Asian, and Asian American people and cultures to offer new insights into the relationships among these groups. Drawing on case studies that include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's appearance in Bruce Lee's film Game of Death, Ron Van Clief and the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Chinese American saxophonist Fred Ho, Price argues that the regular blending and borrowing between these distinct cultural heritages is healing rather than appropriative. His analyses of performance, power, and identity within this cultural fusion demonstrate how, historically, urban working-class Black men have developed community and practiced self-care through the contested adoption of Asian martial arts practice. By zeroing in on this rich but heretofore understudied vein of American cultural exchange, Price not only broadens the scholarship around sites of empowerment via such exchanges but also offers a compelling example of nonessentialist liberation for the twenty-first century.

In spite of steady growth in popularity, Pinter's plays have continued to elude adequate critical appraisal. Considering the last decade's scholarship, Austin E. Quigley attributes the impasse in Pinter criticism to the failure of Pinter's readers to appreciate the diversity of ways in which language can transmit information. This explanation places recent commentaries in a new light and enables the author to take a fresh approach to the plays themselves.Originally published in 1975.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

This volume presents a new approach to Spanish Baroque drama, inspired by Foucauldian discourse archeology, whose rare fusion of meticulous philology and ambitious theory will be exciting and fruitful both for the specialist of Spanish literature and for anyone invested in the history of European thought. Detailed readings are dedicated to some of the most prominent plays by Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca, both autos sacramentales (El viaje del alma; El divino Orfeo; La lepra de Constantino) and comedias (El castigo sin venganza, El príncipe constante, El médico de su honra). The "archeological" perspective cast on the plays implies an integration of their discourse-historical "foils", from pagan antiquity through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as a discussion of related discourses, mainly theological, philosophical and historiographical. A separate "excursus" suggests a reconsideration of the common manner in which the discursive relation between the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Mannerism and the Baroque is conceptualized.
