INTERCULTURALISM AND PERFORMANCE NOW GEBUNDEN

This book is the first edited collection to respond to an undeniable resurgence of critical
activity around the controversial theoretical term 'interculturalism' in theatre and
performance studies. Long one of the field's most vigorously debated concepts  intercultural
performance has typically referred to the hybrid mixture of performance forms from different
cultures (typically divided along an East-West or North-South axis) and its related practices
frequently charged with appropriation  exploitation or ill-founded universalism. New critical
approaches since the late 2000s and early 2010s instead reveal a plethora of localized 
grassroots  diasporic and historical approaches to the theory and practice of intercultural
performance which make available novel critical and political possibilities for performance
practitioners and scholars. This collection consolidates and pushes forward reflection on these
recent shifts by offering case studies from Asia  Africa  Australasia  Latin America  North
America  and Western Europe which debate the possibilities and limitations of this theoretical
turn towards a 'new' interculturalism.
