Sommario/riassunto |

In Imperfect Strangers, Salim Yaqub argues that the 1970s were a pivotal decade for U.S.-Arab relations, whether at the upper levels of diplomacy, in street-level interactions, or in the realm of the imagination. In those years, Americans and Arabs came to know each other as never before. With Western Europe's imperial legacy fading in the Middle East, American commerce and investment spread throughout the Arab world. The United States strengthened its strategic ties to some Arab states, even as it drew closer to Israel. Maneuvering Moscow to the sidelines, Washington placed itself at the center of Arab-Israeli diplomacy. Meanwhile, the rise of international terrorism, the Arab oil embargo and related increases in the price of oil, and |

expanding immigration from the Middle East forced Americans to pay closer attention to the Arab world.Yaqub combines insights from diplomatic, political, cultural, and immigration history to chronicle the activities of a wide array of American and Arab actors-political leaders, diplomats, warriors, activists, scholars, businesspeople, novelists, and others. He shows that growing interdependence raised hopes for a broad political accommodation between the two societies. Yet a series of disruptions in the second half of the decade thwarted such prospects. Arabs recoiled from a U.S.-brokered peace process that fortified Israel's occupation of Arab land. Americans grew increasingly resentful of Arab oil pressures, attitudes dovetailing with broader anti-Muslim sentiments aroused by the Iranian hostage crisis. At the same time, elements of the U.S. intelligentsia became more respectful of Arab perspectives as a newly assertive Arab American community emerged into political life. These patterns left a contradictory legacy of estrangement and accommodation that continued in later decades and remains with us today. |

Institutt for kunst- og medievitenskap ved Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet. Artiklene er basert på kunstbasert forskning og praktisk-teoretisk undervisning ved instituttet. Teaterproduksjon er et sentralt kunst- og kunnskapsdannende arbeidsfelt for studenter og lærere i drama og teater. Arbeidet preges av et dynamisk forhold mellom kropp, tekst, visualitet og lyd, medienes metoder og teknikker og av relasjonen mellom fagforvaltere og studenter. Teaterproduksjon er en kompleks læringsarena; den er multimodal og den krysser mellom opplevelse, formidling, respons og refleksjon. Det er behov for et rikt utvalg strategier, metoder og teknikker. Antologien presenterer ti ulike innganger til teaterproduksjon. Laboratoriet med eksperimentelle metoder er ramme for artikler om scenografi, lyd, aktørens kropp og tekst. Produksjonsprosessen med den skapende og reflekterende studenten i sentrum er ramme for artikler om dramaturgi, tekstbehandling, produksjonsfaser og målgruppearbeid. Fagforvalterens rolle og funksjon i veiledning og vurdering tematiseres i to avsluttende artikler. De ti produksjonsestetiske inngangene drøftes med eksempler og bilde- og lydmateriale. |
This anthology presents research in theatre studies developed by a group of colleagues at the Department of Arts and Media Studies at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The research is conducted through arts-based research and practical-theoretical teaching at the department. Theatre production is a central arts-and knowledge-creating field of work for students and teachers in theatre studies. The work is characterized by a dynamic relationship between body, text, visuality and sound, media methods and techniques and the relationship between professionals and students. Theatre production is a complex learning arena; it is both multimodal and developed in dynamic movements between experience, dissemination, response and reflection. There is a need for a rich range of strategies, methods and techniques. The anthology presents ten different inputs to theatre production. Laboratory with experimental methods is the framework for articles on scenography, sound, the body and text of the actor. Production processes setting the creative and reflective student in the centre is the frame for articles on dramaturgy, text processing, production phases and target group- oriented work. The role and function of the university teacher in supervision and assessment is themed in two closing articles. In discussing the different aesthetical inputs to theatre production the authors use examples, images and audio material. |
