Description

Theatrical Speech Acts: Performing Language examines how words function within theatrical performance and the transformative power they hold under specific performance conditions. Through case studies spanning twelve countries including Argentina, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Thailand, the UK and the US, this Routledge publication investigates critical dimensions of theatrical speech acts. The book addresses postcolonial language politics, translation practices and theories for performance contexts, and the embodied dimensions of language in theatre. This comprehensive exploration reveals what theatrical language can accomplish, the constraints it faces, and the broader implications of speech within dramatic and performative frameworks. Essential for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to understand the intricate relationship between language, performance, and cultural politics across global theatrical traditions.
