On Reenactment
This book brings together dance and visual arts scholars to investigate the key methodological and theoretical issues concerning reenactment. Along with becoming an effective and widespread contemporary artistic strategy, reenactment is taking shape as a new anti-positivist approach to the history of dance and art, undermining the notion of linear time and suggesting new temporal encounters between past, present, and future. As such, reenactment has contributed to a move towards different forms of historical thinking and understanding that embrace cultural studies – especially intertwining gender, postcolonial, and environmental issues – in the redefinition of knowledge, historical disco...
The Routledge Companion to Jacques Lecoq

Through an exemplary collection of specially commissioned chapters from leading writers, specialists and practitioners, it draws together writings and reflections on his pedagogy, his practice, and his influence on the wider theatrical environment.

Ripensare Dario Fo
A quasi quattro anni dalla scomparsa di Dario Fo, i contributi raccolti in questo volume – nati da una giornata di studi svoltasi presso la Scuola Normale Superiore nell’ottobre del 2017 – intendono riflettere su uno dei nostri “classici” teatrali più controversi, dismettendo vecchi schemi agiografici e polemiche preventive. L’opera di Fo viene esaminata da alcuni dei massimi esperti dell’argomento nonché da vari studiosi più giovani, nel tentativo di metterne in luce i molti motivi d’interesse e le molte facce: i contributi toccano problemi decisivi come il rapporto di Fo con il teatro classico (Battistella), le sue esperienze drammaturgiche più importanti (Barsotti, Marinai, Maiolani), i suoi legami con la politica (Farrell), le sue innovazioni linguistiche e i problemi filologici posti dal suo teatro (Vescovo, Trifone, D’Onghia). Il volume è chiuso da una testimonianza del regista Eugenio Allegri e dell’attore Matthias Martelli, che hanno lavorato con Fo al nuovo Mistero Buffo tra il 2015 e il 2016.
The Last Forty Years of Italian Popular Culture
What is Italian pop culture? This volume provides an answer to this question, offering an insight into some of the most recent and interesting developments in the field of pop culture. The reader will find essays on a variety of topics including literature, theater, music, social media, comics, politics, and even Christmas. Each contribution here places stress on the popular. The main reference points guiding the chapters are, in fact, the pioneering works by Antonio Gramsci and Umberto Eco. The result is, therefore, a portrait of a country where mass participation in cultural events always accompanies some form of reflection on the national identity and other related issues. Historians and sociologists, as well as musicologists and philosophers (in addition to pop culture aficionados), will find the text an engaging and indispensable read.
The Theatre Couple in Early Modern Italy
Who were the first celebrity couples? How was their success forged? Which forces influenced their self-fashioning and marketing strategies? These questions are at the core of this study, which looks at the birth of a phenomenon, that of the couple in show business, with a focus on the promotional strategies devised by two professional performers: Giovan Battista Andreini (1576–1654) and Virginia Ramponi (1583–ca.1631). This book examines their artistic path – a deliberately crafted and mutually beneficial joint career – and links it to the historical, social, and cultural context of post-Tridentine Italy. Rooted in a broad research field, encompassing theatre history, Italian studies, celebrity studies, gender studies, and performance studies, The Theatre Couple in Early Modern Italy revises the conventional view of the Italian diva, investigates the deployment of Catholic devotion as a marketing tool, and argues for the importance of the couple system in the history of Commedia dell’Arte, a system that continues to shape celebrity today.

L'ora die Antigone dal nazismo agli 'anni di piombo'
La Seconda guerra mondiale costituisce una cesura nellastoria delle ricezioni del mito di Antigone: l'esperienza deltotalitarismo e della Resistenza condiziona in maniera determinantela lettura della tragedia di Sofocle. Eppure c'è unsalto cronologico tra l'Antigone di Brecht (1948) e la ricomparsadel mito di Antigone nel teatro e nella letteratura deiprimi anni Sessanta. Dopo il 1945, infatti, seguì una bleierneZeit, un'età di piombo, la cui parola d'ordine fu: dimenticare.L'oblio divenne alibi e conforto insieme. Solo a fatica, apartire dal processo Eichmann (1961), si cominciò davveroa disseppellire il passato, e ne scaturì un tremendo conflittosociale. Sul finire degli anni Sessanta...
