INTERMEDIAL THEATER Performance Philosophy, Transversal Poetics, and the Future of Affect B RYAN RE YNOL D S
Palgrave Studies in Performance and Technology Series Editors Susan Broadhurst School of Arts Brunel University Uxbridge, United Kingdom Josephine Machon Middlesex University London, United Kingdom “So much more than a theory book or a period book, Intermedial Theater: Performance Philosophy, Transversal Poetics, and the Future of Affect is a statement of vision, practice, and performance. Dramatist and theorist Bryan Reynolds and crew invite readers into the electric, kinetic, worlds generated by transversal theater and theory. The results are ‘fractalicious.’ You may never want to leave.” —Julian Yates, Professor of English and Material Culture Studies, University of Delaware, USA “In this provocative book on contemporary European postdramatic theater, Bryan Reynolds’s unique writing voice gives the reader an exciting, performative experience of the productions from critical perspectives that reflect current rhythms of filmic and digital media. Reynolds writes the way people’s brains work in this electronic age, and performs his intellectual persona on the page as it reads the stage. I love the book’s performative style. It is the intellectual equivalent of a stage performance.” —Peter Lichtenfels, Professor of Theatre and Dance, University of California, Davis, USA “In this important and impressive book the concept of transversality is used to describe and to understand the formation of subjectivity in everyday and artistic practices. For this, it is developed in the context of theories of the subject and elaborated by analyzing literary texts. The book convincingly shows how transversality can be performed and realized in theatre work. It is a must-read for everybody who is interested in the condition of subjectivity today.” —Rainer Winter, Chair Professor of Media and Cultural Theory, Klagenfurt University, Austria
