Sommario/riassunto

Trauma-Tragedy investigates the extent to which performance can represent the "'unrepresentable" of trauma. Throughout, there is a focus on how such representations might be achieved and if they could help us to understand trauma on personal and social levels. In a world increasingly preoccupied with and exposed to traumas - social, personal, political, violent, psychological, fictional, local, global - this volume considers what performance offers as a means of commentary that other cultural products do not. The book's clear and coherent navigation of the key theories within performance studies and its analysis of key practitioners and performances (from Sarah Kane to Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio, Harold Pinter to Forced Entertainment, and



Phillip Pullman to Franco B) make it accessible and useful to students of performance and trauma studies at all levels. Yet its rigorous and incisive interrogation of the complex relationship between performance, spectatorship and trauma make it of particular interest and usefulness to scholars and specialists. Duggan explores ideas around the phenomenological and socio-political efficacy and impact of performance in relation to trauma. Addressing questions of witnessing, presence, ethics and kinaesthetics, Trauma-Tragedy employs trauma and performance theories as the central theoretical frames but draws also on sociology, postmodernism and metaphysics in analyzing a range of contemporary performances as well as social and "everyday" events that might legitimately be modeled as performative. Ultimately, the book advances a new performance theory or mode, 'trauma-tragedy', that suggests much contemporary performance, from live art through the so-called 'in-yer-face' theatre of the 1990s to popular theatre, can generate the sensation of being present in trauma through its structural embodiment in performance, or 'presence-in-trauma effects'. This book is aimed at scholars and students of Theatre, Drama and Performance, Trauma Studies, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Media and Communication and those concerned with questions of trauma, politics, ethics, and aesthetics in other disciplines.

Introduction -- Three readings of the knowledge-based economy : from economy to economization -- Geopolitics and knowledge-based economization -- Geopolitical discourses and objects of knowledge-based economization -- On geopolitical subjects of knowledge-based economization -- Higher education, geopolitical subject formation and knowledge-based economization -- City geopolitics of knowledge-based economization -- Coda: geopolitics of the knowledge-based economy.

Sommario/riassunto

We live in the era of the knowledge-based economy, and this has major implications for the ways in which states, cities and even supranational political units are spatially planned, governed and developed. In this book, Sami Moisio delves deeply into the links between the knowledge-



based economy and geopolitics, examining a wide range of themes, including city geopolitics and the university as a geopolitical site. This book will prove enlightening to students, researchers and policymakers in the fields of human geography, urban studies, spatial planning, political science, and international relations.
