Description

This historical study of the village of Lournand in the year 1000 and its transition from antiquity to feudalism, is based upon detailed research into documents and sources of the time. The author also poses questions, such as, who held the leading role, the free peasantry or the abbey of Cluny?; would it not be helpful if, by using all the means we have today to identify more reliable filiations and marriage alliances, we could examine a wider area of the structure of the ruling class, the strata which composed it, the antagonisms which divided it and the solidarities which gave it its strength; and, was the relationship between feudalism and the opening up of the market so simple? These and other questions, not only enliven the text of this book but also open up other avenues for further research.

Description

As European theatre directors become a familiar presence on international stages and a new generation of theatre makers absorbs their impulses, this study develops fresh perspectives on Regie, the Continental European tradition of staging playtexts. Leaving behind unhelpful cliches that pit, above all, the director against the playwright, Peter M. Boenisch stages playful encounters between Continental theatre and Continental philosophy. The contemporary Regie work of Thomas Ostermeier, Frank Castorf, Ivo van Hove, Guy Cassiers, tg STAN, and others, here meets the works of Friedrich Schiller and Leopold Jessner, Hegelian speculative dialectics, and the critical philosophy of Jacques Ranciere and Slavoj Zizek in order to explore the thinking of Regie - how to think Regie, and how Regie thinks. -- .
