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."--$cPage 4 of cover. 606 $aActing$xPsychological aspects 606 $aActing$xSocial aspects 606 $aPerformance$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aActing$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aActing$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPerformance$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a792.028 700 $aMcCurdy$b Marian$01521894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796713203321 996 $aActing and its refusal in theatre and film$93761351 997 $aUNINA
