Description

The first book in the new Performing Landscapes series, this original new work harnesses Performance Studies' understanding of behaviours, spaces and applied technologies to explore the culture of high places across six continents. At the same time, it borrows extensively from the critical frameworks associated with Mountain studies in order to examine a selection of ritual, dramatic and performative responses to mountain landscapes drawn from the last two millennia. The book offers the first comprehensive examination of the ways in which mountains are represented in dramatic literature; are exploited as sites for performance; and how they themselves 'perform'. It will complement recent developments in environmental performance and criticism, extending the reach of Performance Studies into the interdisciplinary space of Mountain studies and expanding understandings of behaviour, space and psychology in both fields.
