A new way of understanding theatre in the Middle East not as geographical but transcultural spaces of performanceThe collected essays from noteworthy dramatists and scholars in this book represent new ways of understanding theatre in the Middle East not as geographical but transcultural spaces of performance. What distinguishes this book from previous works is that it offers new analysis on a range of theatrical practices across a region, by and large, ignored for the history of its dramatic traditions and cultures, and it does so by emphasising diverse performances in changing contexts. Topics include Arab, Iranian, Israeli, diasporic theatres from pedagogical perspectives to reinvention of traditions, from translation practices to political resistances expressed in various performances from the nineteenth century to the present.
Babak Rahimi is Director of the Program for the Study of Religion and Associate Professor of Culture, Communication at the Department of Literature, UC San Diego.
