Abstract:
Theatre, fundamentally, makes things appear. Philosophy, fundamentally, makes things appear. Philosophy is at work in all disciplines. The issue is less about bringing them together but rather articulating the fact that they, like science and art, have never been truly apart. Theatre has been gradually increasing its theoretical articulation over decades, fascinated by the possibility of transforming thought into spectacle. The essays collected in this volume address these issues from wide-ranging perspectives and approaches. They arise from meetings of the Theatre, Performance and Philosophy working group at the 2005 and 2006 conferences of TaPRA (Theatre and Performance Research Association), and from papers presented under the auspices of CTPP (Centre for Theatre, Performance and Philosophy) at Aberystwyth University.
Description:
Jacobs, E. 'Cherríe Moraga and the Disruption of Psychoanalysis', in Theatres of Thought: Theatre, Performance and Philosophy, eds. Daniel Watt & Daniel Meyer-DinkGräfe (Newcastle: Cambridge Scholars Publishing 2007) 80-93 Reviews From 'Eradicating Differences: The Treatment of Minorities in Nazi-Dominated Europe'. 'This collection of essays presents original research on Nazi imperial policies toward various non-Jewish minorities in Europe. Adding definition to the hitherto vague categories of the Holocaust´s ‘other victims’ and ‘collaborators,’ this important volume illuminates how the Nazi ideologies of anti-Semitism and racism translated into a nefarious practice of divide et impera. Nazi rule across Europe exacerbated and instigated conflicts among minorities, fanning the flames of the Holocaust and seeding interethnic strife that persists to this day….Essential reading for those interested in the history of mass violence in twentieth century Europe.'
