Description:In "The Aesthetics of the Ephemeral," Jennifer Duprey examines five contemporary plays from Barcelona: "Olors" and "Testament" by Josep Maria Benet i Jornet, "Antigona" by Jordi Coca, "Forasters" by Sergi Belbel, and "Temptacio" by Carles Batlle. She argues that in both the theatrical text and its performance an aesthetics of the ephemeral materializes that is related to specific manifestations of cultural and historical memory in Spain and Catalonia. These manifestations of memory include historical concerns such as the possibility of another form of justice in predicaments of violence after the Civil War, and they also include contemporary issues such as the production of ruins by the processes of gentrification in Barcelona, the complexity of immigration in Spain, and the destruction or preservation of Catalan cultural legacies. In her analysis of these topics, Duprey engages and expands on theories related to questions of subjectivity and identity in late modernity. This book will be of interest to those concerned with Iberian cultural studies and with how theater reflects on and contributes to contemporary political dialogue."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
