284: Vulnerabilities, Responsibilities, Communities In 21St-Century British Drama And Theatre (Contemporary Drama In English Studies, 28)

Drawing on the philosophies of Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Nancy, the essays in this volume examine the ways in which contemporary British drama and theatre engage with the 'precarious'. The analysis of a wide range of plays shows that contemporary (British) drama and theatre often realise their thematic and formal/structural potential to the full by reflecting upon the category and the episteme of precariousness.
