Agata Luksza places special emphasis on the most engaged spectators, known as \"theatremaniacs\"--from what they wore, to what they bought, to what they ate. Her source material is elusive ephemera from fans' lives, such as notes scribbled on a weekly list of shows in the Warsaw theatres, collections of theatre postcards, and recipes for sweets named after famous actors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The fannish behavior of theatremaniacs was usually deemed excessive or in poor taste by people in positions of power, as it clashed with the ongoing embourgeoisement of the theatre and the disciplining of audiences. Nevertheless, the theatre was one of the key areas where early fan cultures emerged, and theatremaniacs indulged in diverse fan practices in opposition to the forces reforming the theatre and its spectatorship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agata Luksza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609389298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609389291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Agata Luksza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489369936127,"sku":"9781609389291","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_475630cd-1b2d-465a-b487-ed0b17151101.jpg?v=1736953356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polish-theatre-revisited-agata-luksza-9781609389291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
