<p>This book offers a new mythic perspective on the secret of the allure and survival of a current-archaic institutionーthe Western theatreーin an era of diverse technological media. Central to the theory is the *spectaculumー*a stage “world” that mirrors a monotheistic cosmic order.</p> <p>Tova Gamliel here not only alerts the reader to the possibility of the spectaculum’s existence, but also illuminates its various structural dimensions: the cosmological, ritual, and sociological. Its <em>cosmo-logical</em> meaning is a Judeo-Christian monotheistic consciousness of non-randomness, an exemplary order of the world that the senses perceive. The <em>ritual</em> meaning denotes the centrality of the spectaculum, as the theatre repeatedly reenacts the mythical and paradigmatic event of Biblical revelation. Its <em>social</em> meaning concerns any charismatic social theory that is anchored in the epitomic structure of social sovereigntyーstage and audienceーthat the Western theatre advances in an era characterized by hypermedia.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
