Chapter Four - ?The Beast that Lies Dormant in the Belly of Our Country?: Race, Nation and Belonging -- . 330 $aFocusing on contemporary English theatre, this book asks a series of questions: How has theatre contributed to understandings of the North-South divide? What have theatrical treatments of riots offered to wider debates about their causes and consequences? Has theatre been able to intervene in the social unease around Gypsy and Traveller communities? How has theatre challenged white privilege and the persistent denigration of black citizens? In approaching these questions, this book argues that the nation is blighted by a number of internal rifts that pit people against each other in ways that cast particular groups as threats to the nation, as unruly or demeaned citizens ? as ?social abjects?. It interrogates how those divisions are generated and circulated in public discourse and how theatre offers up counter-hegemonic and resistant practices that question and challenge negative stigmatization, but also how theatre can contribute to the recirculation of problematic cultural imaginaries. 410 0$aContemporary Performance InterActions,$x2634-5870 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aActors 606 $aPerforming Arts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415030 606 $aTheatre Industry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415110 606 $aContemporary Theatre$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415040 606 $aNational/Regional Theatre and Performance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415080 606 $aPerformers and Practitioners$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415090 606 $aTheatre and Performance Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415000 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aActors. 615 14$aPerforming Arts. 615 24$aTheatre Industry. 615 24$aContemporary Theatre. 615 24$aNational/Regional Theatre and Performance. 615 24$aPerformers and Practitioners. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Studies. 676 $a306.4848 700 $aHoldsworth$b Nadine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0953145 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483586903321 996 $aEnglish Theatre and Social Abjection$92184196 997 $aUNINA
