Biografisk notat
Andrew Quick is Professor of Theatre and Performance at Lancaster University Richard Rushton is Professor in Film Studies at Lancaster University
In keeping with their previous work – both academic and artistic – Quick and Rushton have drawn together a timely and provocative collection on theatricality. One that with finesse, elegance and transparency draws attention both to the complexity of theatricality as its well to as its contemporary resonances in different media and genres. The collection signals a welcome shift back to the aesthetic, which, of course, is something that is rooted in the very construction of the social, as indeed all the diverse contributions in the collection are keen to stress. I highly recommend it to anyone working in the cultural field who is interested in how representation works and what it can do.
