The book begins with a theoretical introduction to theatrical interculturalism. Subsequent chapters outline the historical and political context within which intercultural performance takes place; examine the ways in which Indigenous, Filipino, and Afro-Caribbean Canadian theater has developed play structures based on culturally specific forms of expression; and explore the ways that intercultural companies have used intermediality, modernist form, and intercultural discourse to mediate across cultures. \u003ci\u003ePerforming the Intercultural City\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to scholars, artists, and the theater-going public, including those in theater and performance studies, urban studies, critical multiculturalism studies, diaspora studies, critical cosmopolitanism studies, critical race theory, and cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of Michigan Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122131648752,"sku":"9780472123063","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780472123063_p0.jpg?v=1763707202","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780472123063","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
