The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This year saw the continued expansion of four vibrant conversations within the field of theater and performance studies. The first section of this review, ‘World Stages and Their Borders’, features scholarship that explores how theaters represent worlds beyond the nation’s territorial and symbolic boundaries. The second section, ‘Performing Critical Temporalities’, considers studies of minoritarian performance that engage with the lived experience of time. In the third section, ‘Theater After Liveness’, I discuss scholarship on modern drama that is in dialogue with theories of performance as a live event. A fourth section considers new works on the nineteenth-century theater, showing how ‘Celebrity, Publicity, and Amateurism’ are entwined. Finally, a brief concluding note outlines significant biographies and reference works released within the past year.

Founding Pedagogies of Modern Drama

Modern Drama

Celebrating the importance of pedagogy in the founding editor’s original vision for Modern Drama, this article begins and ends with a memoir of A. C. Edwards, who taught Marvin Carlson, the author’s future doctoral mentor, and later the author himself at the University of Kansas. “In our days,” Edwards wrote in the Foreword to the first issue of this journal in May of 1958, “it is too often assumed that research is the handmaiden of publication, whereas, as we all know, scholarly research may be done only in order to improve one’s teaching.” He practiced in his classroom what he preached. Trained as a medievalist in Old English philology at the University of Iowa, Edwards taught the dynamic relationship between written and spoken words, not only in Chaucer and Shakespeare but also in modern drama. A key technical challenge for modern dramatists, philologically understood, is how to represent unspoken thought. At this Henrik Ibsen excelled, and others have followed. Reading for “subtext,” therefore, becomes both a compelling pedagogical approach and a rehearsal method, as demonstrated here by three first-hand accounts of faculty-directed student productions of plays by Ibsen and Suzan-Lori Parks.
