Theater(s) and Public Sphere in a Global and Digital Society, Volume 2
This second volume of Theaters and Public Sphere in a Global and Digital Society offers several different case studies in their relationship with society. Also here, the focus is the fundamental contribution that artistic and cultural forms bring to social dynamics and how these can consolidate cohabitation and create meaningfullness, in addition to fulfilling economic and regulatory needs. As symbolic forms of collective social practices, artistic and cultural forms weave the meaning of a territory, a context, and a people, but also of the generations who traverse these same cultures. These forms of meaning interact with the social imagery, mediate marginalization, transform barriers into bridges, and are the indispensable tools for any social coexistence and its continuous rethinking in everyday life. Contributors are: Claudio Bernardi, Marco Bernardi, Massimo Bertoldi, Martina Guerinoni, Mara Nerbano, Chiara Pasanisi, Benedetta Pratelli, Roberto Prestigiacomo, Ilaria Riccioni, Daniela Salinas Frigerio, Eleonora Sparano, Emanuele Stochino, Matteo Tamborrino, Tiziana Tesauro, Katia Trifirò, Alessandro Tolomelli, and Andrea Zardi.
Performance Design
Explores the speculative and projective acts of designing performance and performing design. This work offers a range of performative expressions across disciplines, where design artefacts - objects, gestures, images, occasions and environments - are aligned to performance through notions of embodiment, action and event.
Designers' Shakespeare
Theatre Design involves everything seen on stage: not only scenery but costumes, wigs, makeup, properties, lighting, sound, even the shape and material of the stage itself. Designers’ Shakespeare presents and analyses the work of a half-dozen leading practitioners of this specialist art. By focusing specifically on their Shakespearean work, it also offers a fresh, exciting perspective on some of the best-known drama of all time. Shakespeare’s plays offer an unusual range of opportunities to designers. As they were written for a theatre which gave no opportunity for scenic support or embellishment, designers are freed from any compulsion to imitate original practices. This has resulted in...
Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860
Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860 presents new perspectives on the role music played in the physical, cultural, and civic spaces of Italian cities from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Across thirteen chapters, contributors explore the complex connections between sound and space within these urban contexts, demonstrating how music and sound were intimately connected to changing social and political practices. The volume offers a critical redefinition of the core concept of soundscape, considering musical practices through the lenses of territory, space, representation, and identity, in five parts: Soundscape, Phonosphere, and Urban History Urban Soundscapes across Time Urban Soundscapes and Acoustic Communities Urban Soundscapes in Literary Sources Reconstructing Urban Soundscapes in the Digital Era Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860 reframes our understanding of Italian music history beyond models of patronage, investigating how sounds and musics have contributed to the construction of human identities and communities.

The Cambridge Introduction to Scenography
Scenography – the manipulation and orchestration of the performance environment – is an increasingly popular and key area in performance studies. This book introduces the reader to the purpose, identity and scope of scenography and its theories and concepts. Settings and structures, light, projected images, sound, costumes and props are considered in relation to performing bodies, text, space and the role of the audience. Concentrating on scenographic developments in the twentieth century, the Introduction examines how these continue to evolve in the twenty-first century. Scenographic principles are clearly explained through practical examples and their theoretical context. Although acknowledging the many different ways in which design shapes the creation of scenography, the book is not exclusively concerned with the role of the theatre designer. In order to map out the wider territory and potential of scenography, the theories of pioneering scenographers are discussed alongside the work of directors, writers and visual artists.
Architettare la scena
Il volume indaga il mutuo scambio che consolida, nel corso del secondo Novecento, il già intenso legame fra disegno della scena e pratica architettonica. I contributi che compongono la collettanea (dall'estensione assai ampia, come sono differenti gli interessi e i percorsi professionali degli studiosi e degli artisti coinvolti) mettono in luce alcune significative esperienze di proficuo nutrimento, testimonianza dello sforzo congiunto operato da entrambe le discipline per trovare una possibile risposta all'annosa questione dell'abitare speciale dell'attore sul palcoscenico. Questione resa ancora più complessa dall'invisibile, quantistica evidenza per cui il nostro modo di ricordare condiz...
Architetture del bianco
Bianco è il primo sguardo sul mondo da cui deriva il procedimento di percezione e costruzione del circostante. Il bianco, come scrivono Castoldi e Hillman, è all'origine delle religioni, dell'arte, del linguaggio e rappresenta l'incontro primo tra il sensibile e il visibile. Architetture del bianco è un viaggio teorico-creativo attorno alle lingue del bianco, ripercorrendo, nei primi capitoli, alcune importanti rappresentazioni tra arte e scrittura, ricerca della linfa primaria, mitologica da cui le espressività hanno mosso i loro segni. Il libro rilegge importanti percorsi creativi spinti nelle trame del bianco e della sua luce, e il contagio linguistico, che con il suo coinvolgimento h...
Stop all'abuso sulle donne
"...In questo nuovo scenario artistico si muovono gli artisti protagonisti di questa mostra, le cui opere testimoniano i molteplici stati emotivi in cui precipita la donna vittima di violenza: la paura, la solitudine, l'alienazione, la vergogna, la disperazione, l'impotenza ma anche la rabbia e la ribellione." [Giorgio Zacutti] Nella storia dell'umanità la donna ha conosciuto una condizione di sottomissione anche quando si voleva cambiare la società. Il modificarsi del ruolo sociale della donna, è avvenuto attraverso lotte silenziose all'interno della famiglia e lotte sociali che hanno portato alla nascita del movimento femminista, permettendo un riconoscimento, seppur parziale, della pro...
