Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgements -- Table of Contents -- List of Figures and Tables -- Introduction -- 1. How can we define autonomy? -- 2. The concept of artistic autonomy -- 3. Autonomy in the contemporary theatre -- 4. How agents in theatre fields make use of claims to autonomy -- 5. How theatre organization shapes claims to autonomy -- 6. How claims to autonomy serve those outside theatre fields -- Conclusion -- References -- About the Authors -- Index
Summary: As any devoted theatregoer will attest, watching a performance is a unique experience, as the social setting, rules, and standards of theatre often combine to create a feeling of liberation from the everyday world. This book explores the phenomenon of theatre as simultaneously distinct from and yet connected to society as a whole. Combining theoretical reflections with materials from European case studies, the authors offer intriguing new methods for the sociological study of theatre while contributing equally to theatre and performance studies.
