{"product_id":"rhapsody-for-the-theatre-9781781681251","title":"Rhapsody for the Theatre","description":"For Alain Badiou, theatre--unlike cinema--is the place for the staging of a truly emancipatory collective subject. In this sense theatre is, of all the arts, the one strictly homologous to politics: both theatre and politics depend on a limited set of texts or statements, collectively enacted by a group of actors or militants, which put a limit on the excessive power of the state. This explains why the history of theatre has always been inseparable from a history of state repression and censorship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis definitive collection includes not only Badiou's pamphlet \u003ci\u003eRhapsody for the Theatre\u003c\/i\u003e but also essays on Jean-Paul Sartre, on the political destiny of contemporary theatre, and on Badiou's own work as a playwright, as author of the Ahmed Tetralogy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781681251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Alain Badiou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766756540597,"sku":"9781781681251","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_79f32746-7d6f-48ab-a7ea-ab6468ee64b4.jpg?v=1710818173","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/rhapsody-for-the-theatre-9781781681251","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
