Humanism, Drama, and Performance Unwriting Theatre /[electronic resource] :by Hana Worthen. - 1st ed. 2020. - XIII, 301 p. 2 illus.online resource.

1. Introduction: Unwriting Theatre -- 2. Martial’s damnatio ad bestias -- 3. Augustine’s spectacula -- 4. Lessing’s Vermenschlichung -- 5. Pinkins’s Alienating Gestus -- 6. Kivimaa’s Living Humanism -- 7. Disassembling Performance.

This book examines the appropriation of theatre and theatrical performance by ideologies of humanism, in terms that continue to echo across the related disciplines of literary, drama, theatre, and performance history today. From Aristotle onward, theatre has been regulated by three strains of critical poiesis: the literary, segregating theatre and the practices of the spectacular from the humanising work attributed to the book and to the internality of reading; the dramatic, approving the address of theatrical performance only to the extent that it instrumentalises literary value; and the theatrical, assimilating performance to the conjunction of literary and liberal values. These values have been used to figure not only the work of theatre, but also the propriety of the audience as a figure for its socialising work, along a privileged dualism from the aestheticised ensemble – harmonising actor, character, and spectator to the essentialised drama –to the politicised assembly, theatre understood as an agonistic gathering.
