- Additional information
- This volume (c. 90,000 words) contains twelve chapters focused on theatre and performance in Algeria, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Australia, Chile, the United States, New Zealand, Rwanda, Tunisia and England. The contributors include leading international scholars in theatre and performance studies based in five different countries. Morin and Luckhurst conceived the volume together, proposed it to the press, commissioned, selected and edited the chapters, created the thematic structure, responded to the anonymous readers’ reports, co-wrote the introduction (c. 7,000 words), and oversaw the copyediting and indexing. Morin contributed a 7,000-word chapter on the political theatre of the Algerian War of Independence. The editing task took three years from the initial commissioning of chapters to production. Both editors worked on all the chapters together. Morin researched the theoretical field on human rights and unspeakability for the introduction.
