摘要註
"Theatre in Market Economies explores the complex relationship between theatre and the market economy during roughly the past two decades in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and the United States. It takes an interdisciplinary, materialist approach that draws on political economy, geography, and cultural theory, to reveal a theatre that is increasingly taking up the mission of the "mixed economy": to combine economic efficiency with social security, while promoting liberal democracy. Theatre's assumption of this mantle has happened during much the same time as the purchase of social democracy and the centre-left have declined within electoral politics and the tools of the welfare state have been used to regulate ever more closely the lives of citizens rather than the operations of markets. Through a wide-ranging analysis of theatrical working practices, institutions, environments, and ideologies, Theatre in Market Economies explores the intimate and ambiguous relationship between theatre and the market economny, onstage and off. It depicts a theatre that is not only a familiar cultural institution but is, in many ways, an exemplary political economic one as well."--Provided by publisher.
