- Research for this 130 000-word monograph was undertaken between 2006 when a production of Vinaver’s 11 septembre 2001 first sparked interest in the topic, to its publication in 2017. Research involved attending over fifty related theatre performances, either mentioned or closely analysed in the book; and a thoroughgoing survey and analysis of English and French texts theorizing ‘spectacle’. This yielded a new theory, that contemporary theatre has exposed how spectacles of war are produced and circulated, and that it contributes towards a demilitarisation of images and condemnation of war. The author gave fifteen conference papers on the book’s developing themes.
