{"product_id":"theatre-theory-reader-david-drozd-9788024635781","title":"Theatre Theory Reader: Prague School Writings","description":"The \u003ci\u003eTheatre Theory Reader \u003c\/i\u003eprovides the first comprehensive and critical anthology of texts reflecting on the development of the theater theory of the Prague School--or Prague Linguistic Circle--beginning with early twentieth-century composer and aesthetician Otakar Zich. The majority of the thirty-eight texts date from the 1930s and early 1940s, the period when the Prague Linguistic Circle was most active as both a theoretical laboratory and a focal point for scholars, artists, and intellectuals. A substantial afterword places these writings in context, describing the emergence of the Prague School in an effort to promote a deeper understanding of its texts. Organized thematically and structurally rather than chronologically, the \u003ci\u003eTheatre Theory Reader \u003c\/i\u003eexplores issues and themes in the study of the theater as an art form and as artistic practice. Just as the Prague School theorists viewed theory as a toolbox of approaches to theater analysis, this anthology should be considered a toolbox of analytic possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Drozd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 802463578X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788024635781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolinum Press, Charles University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"David Drozd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075237507327,"sku":"9788024635781","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d815a03-b0c2-40ac-8521-9f406d349d0a.jpg?v=1685458392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theatre-theory-reader-david-drozd-9788024635781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
