Janez Janša (ed.): Presence, representation, theatricality. Discussions from contemporary theatre theories.
The discussions in the book by Janez Janša offer a summary of theatre theories from the last four decades – therefore from the period when they were in full academic and publicistic swing. The collection of articles represents fundamental accessions to theatre studying, from semiotics to anthropology, through deconstruction and phenomenology, to feminism and post-structuralism.
The collection provides the most basic information on some of the essential theoretical territories, notions and problems, without which a relevant reflection on contemporary performing arts would cease to exist. The book is aimed at a broad public and not only the experts, and as a supplement you will find an exhaustive selection of bibliography for further studies.
