Produktbeschreibung
The issue of the perception of Ancient Greek tragedy
in contemporary performances of the twentieth century
comprises an important field of research in theatre.
This book discusses twentieth-century Greek
performances of tragedy between 1919 and 1967
relating their aesthetic styles to the notion of Greekness and the constitution of Greek national
culture during this period. It explains the position
tragedy acquired within Greek theatre using Pierre
Bourdieu s model of the field of cultural
production . At the same time it elaborates on the
unavoidable references of these productions to the
European theatrical movements from the end of the
eighteenth century to the second half of the
twentieth and their re-negotiation within Greek
cultural terms. Although these issues have been
pointed out or implied by both theorists and artists,
they have not been until now systematically analysed
and discussed. This book offers a thorough
examination of these topics and it should be useful
to everyone interested in contemporary performances
of tragedy, Greek theatre,Greek culture and generally
in what consists of the Greek part of European
theatre history.
