Aprašymas

A bold new framework for global theatre rooted in local philosophies and connected through a heteroglobal vision.

Theatre, Globalization and the Heteroglobal Method offers a groundbreaking framework for rethinking global theatre studies. Drawing on philosophy and scholarship from major theatre traditions--South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, and Nigeria--the volume reimagines how performance circulates and transforms in a global context.

Challenging the dominance of Eurocentric models in postcolonial studies, comparative literature, and world theatre, the book introduces the "heteroglobal" method: an adaptable, equitable approach that begins with local theoretical and philosophical frameworks before bringing them into dialogue. These imagined centers, each with its own rich discursive heritage, become sites of knowledge exchange where fresh understandings of art and globalization emerge.

Through a theoretically pluralistic matrix of comparison and interculturalism, Theatre, Globalization and the Heteroglobal Method documents contemporary scholarly and artistic practices across diverse cultural landscapes, offering a new model for teaching, research, and performance in an interconnected world.
