Performances of Authorial Presence and Absence
Author : Silvija Jestrovic
Publisher : Springer Nature
Page : 212 pages
File Size : 19,83 MB
Release : 2020-06-22
Category : Performing Arts
ISBN : 3030432904
Book Description
This book takes Roland Barthes’s famous proclamation of ‘The Death of the Author’ as a starting point to investigate concepts of authorial presence and absence on various levels of text and performance. By offering a new understanding of ‘the author’ as neither a source of unquestioned authority nor an obsolete construct, but rather as a performative figure, the book illuminates wide-ranging aesthetic and political aspects of ‘authorial death’ by asking: how is the author constructed through cultural and political imaginaries and erasures, intertextual and intertheatrical references, re-performances and self-referentiality? And what are the politics and ethics of these constructions?

Book Description
It's Rome 1910, and the Ponza family's tendency to swap identities shows the truth to be a highly subjective commodity. Franco Zeferelli's production of Luigi Pirandello's brilliant comedy was a West End hit in 2003 and is scheduled to open on Broadway. Luigi Pirandello achieved acclaim for plays such as Absolutely Perhaps and Six Characters in Search of an Author, winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 1934. He died in Rome in 1936.

Pirandello, awarded the Nobel Prize in 1934, was the playwright par excellence of the conflict between illusion and reality. His modern and sensationally original plays dramatize with force and eloquence the isolation of the individual from society and from himself. The editor, Eric Bentley, is an international theater authority. In addition to the Introduction and the biographical and bibliographical material in the Appendices, Mr. Bentley has prepared for this volume the first English translations of the play Liolà and Pirandello’s important “Preface” to Six Characters in Search of an Author.
