Critical Image Configurations: The Work of Georges Didi-Huberman The Work of Georges Didi-Huberman

This book illuminates a variety of the key themes and positions that are developed in the work of art historian and philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman one of the most influential image-theorists of our time. Beginning with a translated exchange on the politics of images between Jacques Rancière and Georges Didi-Huberman the volume further contains a translation of Didi-Huberman’s essay on Georges Bataille’s writings on art. The articles in this book explore the influence of Theodor Adorno and Aby Warburg on Didi-Huberman’s work the relationship between ‘image’ and ‘people' his insights on witnessing and memory the theme of phasmids and his reflections on aura pathos and the imagination. Taken as a whole the book will give readers an insight into the rich and expansive work of Didi-Huberman beyond the books that are currently available in English. This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities. | Critical Image Configurations: The Work of Georges Didi-Huberman The Work of Georges Didi-Huberman

The Routledge Companion to Commedia dell'Arte

The Routledge Companion to Commedia dell'Arte

From Commedia dell’Arte came archetypal characters that are still with us today such as Harlequin and Pantalone and the rediscovered craft of writing comic dramas and masked theatre. From it came the forces that helped create and influence Opera Ballet Pantomime Shakespeare Moliere Lopes de Vega Goldoni Meyerhold and even the glove puppet Mr Punch. The Routledge Companion to Commedia dell’Arte is a wide-ranging volume written by over 50 experts that traces the history characteristics and development of this fascinating yet elusive theatre form. In synthesising the elements of Commedia this book introduces the history of the Sartori mask studio; presents a comparison between Gozzi and Goldoni’s complicated and adversarial approaches to theatre; invites discussions on Commedia’s relevance to Shakespeare and illuminates re-interpretations of Commedia in modern times. The authors are drawn from actors mask-makers pedagogues directors trainers and academics all of whom add unique insights into this fundamental pillar of western theatre. Notable contributions include: • Donato Sartori on the twentieth century Sartori mask • Rob Henke on the Form and Freedom in Commedia Improvisation • Anna Cottis on Carlo Boso • Didi Hopkins on One Man Two Guv’nors • Kenneth Richards on acting companies • Antonio Fava on Commedia dell’Arte • Joan Schirle on Carlo Mazzone-Clementi and women in Commedia • M.
