      abstract = {This book combines performance analysis with contemporary  political philosophy to advance new ways of understanding  both political performance and the performativity of the  politics of the street. Our times are pre-eminently  political times and have drawn radical responses from many  theatre and performance practitioners. However, a decade of  conflict in the Middle East and Afghanistan, the eruption  of new social movements around the world, the growth of  anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation struggles, the  upsurge of protests against the blockades of neoliberalism,  and the rising tide of dissent and anger against corporate  power, with its exorbitant social costs, have left theatre  and performance scholarship confronting something of a  dilemma: how to theorize the political antagonisms of our  day? Drawing on the resources of ‘post-Marxist’ political  thinkers such as Chantal Mouffe and Jacques Rancière, the  book explores how new theoretical horizons have been made  available for performance analysis.},
