Rezensionen
"The volume offers rich critical engagements with this theatrical voyeur by asking what pleasures, intersubjective relations, and sensorial dynamics might emerge from such a model of spectatorship. ... Theatre as Voyeurism succeeds at articulating an exciting and novel theoretical frame and is a valuable collection for any scholar interested in spectatorship, the auteur, and/or the erotics of performance." (Matthew C. Stone, Theatre Journal, Vol. 59 (4), December, 2017)
