Theatre on Terror: Subject Positions in British Drama charts the terrain of contemporary subjectivities both 'at home' and 'on the front line'. Beyond examining the construction and contestation of subject positions in domestic and (sub)urban settings, the book follows border-crossing figures to the shifting battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan. What emerges through the analysis of twenty-one plays is not a dichotomy but a dialectics of 'home' and 'front', where fluid, uncontainable subjects are constantly pushing the contours of conflict. Revising the critical consensus that post-9/11 drama primarily engages with 'the real', Ariane de Waal argues that these plays navigate the complexities of the discourse - rather than the historical or social realities - of war and terrorism. British 'theatre on terror' negotiates, inflects, and participates in the discursive circulation of stories, idioms, controversies, testimonies, and pieces of (mis)information in the face of global insecurities. 410 0$aCDE studies ;$vVolume 27. 606 $aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 610 $a9/11. 610 $aContemporary British Theatre. 610 $aDrama. 610 $aSubject Positions. 610 $aTerror. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 676 $a822.009 686 $aHN 1261$2rvk 700 $aDe Waal$b Ariane$01561846 702 $aDe Waal$b Ariane 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792823503321 996 $aTheatre on terror$93828903 997 $aUNINA
