Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book, authored by Thomas Schmidt, delves into the intricate dynamics of power and organizational structures within the theater industry. It draws from the study 'Art and Power in Theater' conducted in collaboration with the University of Music and Performing Arts Frankfurt. The work explores how power operates as a political resource and management tool in theater, examining the peculiarities of the German theater system, the roles of key figures like artistic directors, and the ethical considerations necessary for theater management. It also addresses the abuse of power, structural violence, and the social conditions of theater employees. Through theoretical frameworks and empirical data, the book aims to contribute to reforms in the theater landscape, targeting academics, theater professionals, and students interested in cultural management and organizational studies. |
