      abstract = {"Taking into account the ephemeral nature of performance,  this book develops innovative approaches to the  reconstruction of historical staging practices through the  lens of Spanish classical theater. Vidler emphasizes the  need to take into account not only structures of culture,  but also the human capacity to manipulate those structures  for both individual and group expression. Through a  detailed analysis of approaches to space, the body, the  stage object, and the spectator in the comedia, it is  possible to discern analyzable artifacts that permit us to  reconstruct significant aspects of early modern stagings.  Furthermore, because it actively engages and intertwines  both objective and subjective modes of interpretation,  Vidler argues that performance theory itself will be the  locus of the next breakthroughs in interpretive studies"--},
