{"product_id":"theatre-and-its-other-elisa-ganser-9789004449817","title":"Theatre and Its Other: Abhinavagupta on Dance and Dramatic Acting","description":"What is Dance? What is Theatre? What is the boundary between enacting a character and narrating a story? When does movement become tinted with meaning? And when does beauty shine alone as if with no object? These universal aesthetic questions find a theoretically vibrant and historically informed set of replies in the oeuvre of the eleventh-century Kashmirian author Abhinavagupta. The present book offers the first critical edition, translation, and study of a crucial and lesser known passage of his commentary on the \u003ci\u003eNāṭyaśāstra\u003c\/i\u003e, the seminal work of Sanskrit dramaturgy. The nature of dramatic acting and the mimetic power of dance, emotions, and beauty all play a role in Abhinavagupta's thorough investigation of performance aesthetics, now presented to the modern reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisa Ganser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004449817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004449817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Elisa Ganser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993034653951,"sku":"9789004449817","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bc2219b-9431-437c-b879-96617b8eb9d0.jpg?v=1683322162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theatre-and-its-other-elisa-ganser-9789004449817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
