About this book
Reviews
“This collection skilfully assesses emerging critical approaches and paradigms for understanding interculturalism and performance, revitalizing this contested concept and demonstrating its contemporary utility and urgency. Ethically grounded and theoretically expansive, the essays explore new sites, methods, and praxes that continue to nuance our appreciation of the complexities of intercultural engagements in and through performance. This book is a noteworthy addition to scholarly discussions of ‘new interculturalism’ in theatre and performance studies and related disciplines.” (Diana Looser, Stanford University, USA)
“An important and diverse collection of essays exploring a variety of paradigms and examples of ‘new interculturalism(s)’ as they negotiate various forms of hybridity in both context specific local as well as global contexts today.” (Phillip Zarrilli, Exeter University, UK)
