- Double-weighted statement
- This 80,000 word monograph offers the first substantial theorization of 'emergency' as a form of performance. It combines performance studies, critical theory, film and media studies and political philosophy to explore the ways in which the spectator responds to the performance of emergencies. It contains an up-to-date corpus of events that includes Islamic State propaganda, the 'Refugee Crisis', recent political upheavals such as the election of Donald Trump, as well as a wealth of European theatre and performance art.
