| Summary |
Closely reading a range of performance work from the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Naming Theatre is a ground-breaking study of theatre's growing obsession with technologies and effects of naming. How do theatre-makers such as Ping Chong, Anne Bogart, Suzan-Lori Parks, Forced Entertainment, Lightwork, Ridiculusmus, Theodora Skipitares, Paula Vogel, and Riot Group intervene in naming practices across domains such as medicine, political activism, philosophy, horror films, television and print journalism, anthropology, advertising and brand development, semiotics, military training, and genetics? |
