A Boal Companion: Dialogues on Theatre and Cultural Politics




A Boal Companion: Dialogues on Theatre and Cultural Politics by Mady Schutzman
English | Jan. 15, 2006 | ISBN: 0415322936, 0415322944 | 224 Pages | PDF | 1 MB


A Boal Companion looks at the cultural practices which inform TO and explore them within a larger frame of cultural politics and performance theory. The contributors put TO into dialogue with complexity theory – Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, race theory, feminist performance art, Deleuze and Guattari, and liberation psychology – to name just a few, and in doing so, the kinship between Boal’s project and multiple fields of social psychology, ethics, biology, comedy, trauma studies and political science is made visible.
