Working within a theater and performance studies lens, it analyzes adaptations of Greek tragedy, documentary theater, political performances by the Bush administration, protest performances, satiric news television programs, and post-apocalyptic narratives in popular culture. By considering performance across genre and media, \u003ci\u003eWar as Performance\u003c\/i\u003e offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of culture, warfare, and militarization, and argues that spectacular and banal aesthetics of contemporary war positions performance as a practice struggling to distance itself from appropriation by the military for violent ends. Contemporary warfare has infiltrated our narratives to such an extent that it holds performance hostage. As lines between the military and performance weaken, this book analyzes how performance responds to and potentially shapes war and conflict in the new century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindsey Mantoan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030068390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030068394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.53d","brand":"Lindsey Mantoan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44255011045631,"sku":"9783030068394","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fef8911-ee4a-4cfd-b45a-625b45bb4663.jpg?v=1694615606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-as-performance-lindsey-mantoan-9783030068394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
