Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of contemporary theatre and cosmopolitanism, this book emphasizes the importance of empathy and personal narratives in fostering social responsibility and respect amid global crises. It argues that performance arts can cultivate a new cosmopolitan identity, characterized by diverse origins and multiple cultural affiliations. By analyzing how European and North American theatres represent this divided subjectivity, the text reveals the complexities of storytelling—both self-narratives and external perceptions—within a globalized context.
