Yet in the postmodern era, a reversal has occurred--real life is revealed as something acted and acting is where people have begun to search for truth. In Acting and its Refusal in Theatre and Film, Marian McCurdy considers the ethical desire of refusing to act--which results from blurred boundaries of acting and living--and examines how real life and performance are intertwined. Offering a number of in-depth case studies, the book contextualizes refusals of acting on stage and screen and engages in an analysis of fascist theatricality, sexual theatricality, and the refusal of theatricality altogether."--Page 4 of cover.ActingPsychological aspectsActingSocial aspectsPerformanceMoral and ethical aspectsActingPsychological aspects.ActingSocial aspects.PerformanceMoral and ethical aspects.792.028McCurdy Marian1521894MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796713203321Acting and its refusal in theatre and film3761351UNINA
