Alif: Journal of Comparative Poetics, No. 39: Transnational Drama: Theater and Performance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789774169397)

This issue of Alif explores drama in its many manifestations---textual plays, performances, folk drama, choreographed story-telling, staged poetry recitals, and protest songs--as well as presenting modes of directing and production, comparative dramaturgy, specialized theater journals, experimental and independent troupes, testimonies and interviews. The issue covers dramatic works from eighteenth-century France to twenty-first century Britain and covers geographically Senegal to Lebanon, the US to China, while highlighting major dramatists from Egypt, Syria, and Morocco. The translations in this issue cover manifestos towards a new Arab Theater and an introduction to the recently published plays of Frantz Fanon.
