While disputing the notion that tragedy has died, this wide-ranging study argues that it faces an unprecedented challenge in modern times from an unexpected quarter: political economy. Since Aristotle, tragedy has been seen as uniquely exhibiting the importance of action for human happiness. Beginning with Adam Smith, however, political economy has claimed that the source of happiness is primarily production. Eclipse of Action examines the tense relations between action and production, doing and making, in playwrights from Aeschylus, Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Milton to Beckett, Arthur Miller, and Sarah Kane. Richard Halpern places these figures in conversation with works by Aristotle, Smith, Hegel, Marx, Hannah Arendt, Georges Bataille, and others in order to trace the long history of the ways in which economic thought and tragic drama interact. 606 $aTragedy$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTragedy$xThemes, motives 606 $aEconomics in literature 610 $aaction. 610 $adrama. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $apolitical economy. 610 $apolitics. 610 $asociety. 610 $atheater. 610 $atragedy. 615 0$aTragedy$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTragedy$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aEconomics in literature. 676 $a809.2/512 700 $aHalpern$b Richard$0866565 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164955203321 996 $aEclipse of Action$91934348 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02483oas 2200949 a 450 001 9910143485403321 005 20251105213014.0 011 $a1556-4967 035 $a(OCoLC)60687586 035 $a(CONSER) 2005214895 035 $a(CKB)1000000000210535 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000210535 100 $a20050621a20069999 sy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aJournal of field robotics 210 $a[Hoboken, N.J.] $cWiley Periodicals, Inc.$d©2006- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from table of contents screen (Wiley InterScience; viewed: 9/19/2006). 311 08$a1556-4959 517 3 $aField robotics 517 1 $aJFR 606 $aRobotics$vPeriodicals 606 $aRobots, Industrial$vPeriodicals 606 $aAutomatic control$vPeriodicals 606 $aRobots industriels$vPe?riodiques 606 $aCommande automatique$vPe?riodiques 606 $aRobotique$vPe?riodiques 606 $aAutomatic control$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00822702 606 $aRobotics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01098997 606 $aRobots, Industrial$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01099080 606 $aRobòtica$2thub 606 $aRobots industrials$2thub 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 608 $aRevistes electròniques.$2thub 615 0$aRobotics 615 0$aRobots, Industrial 615 0$aAutomatic control 615 6$aRobots industriels 615 6$aCommande automatique 615 6$aRobotique 615 7$aAutomatic control. 615 7$aRobotics. 615 7$aRobots, Industrial. 615 7$aRobòtica. 615 7$aRobots industrials. 676 $a629.8 801 0$bNSD 801 1$bNSD 801 2$bNSD 801 2$bMUQ 801 2$bBUF 801 2$bNSD 801 2$bIUL 801 2$bUMC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bHEBIS 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bEZC 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bNJT 801 2$bSFB 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bUAB 801 2$bUBY 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bSXB 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910143485403321 996 $aJournal of field robotics$9793863 997 $aUNINA
