| Start Date: 01/23/2024 End Date: 05/07/2024 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2024 |
| Description: A historical survey of dramatic texts and world performance traditions from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, with attention given to: the influence of print culture on early modern theatrical movements; the rise of nationalism and the creation of dramatic genres; and the effects of industry and technology on experimental modernist forms. Understanding performance as both artistic practice and social institution, this course emphasizes the role performance has played in changing audiences and as a cultural and political force. As such, we explore not only how performances are created--in terms of design, dramaturgy, architecture, and acting--but for whom, and why. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: We no longer have a local bookstore for orders. Please acquire the books yourselves, taking care to buy the ASSIGNED EDITIONS--that's very important! Amazon is an option, and often has used copies. Kindle editions are accepted. A good site for used books is abebooks.com. |
