In this volume Strindberg's accomplishments as a dramatist are set against his achievements in other fields, as an autobiographer, painter, letter writer and theatre director. There are studies of individual plays, in which Strindberg's theatre is related both to naturalism and the theatre of the absurd, and of the role played by his life-long interest in historical drama. Other essays range from studies of the problems posed by Strindberg's preoccupation with converting his own life into literature to a consideration of the importance he placed on letterwriting as a model for writing of all kinds. His letters are also used to explore his ideas about the theatre. A recurring concern is with the period of turmoil known as the Inferno Crisis, in which Strindberg refashioned himself as a writer. Robinson examines the importance of Strindberg's painting for his renewal as a writer and situates the achievement of his later works in relation to Symbolism and to Musical Expressionism.

A little over 100 years ago, the first production of An-sky's The Dybbuk, a play about the possession of a young woman by a dislocated spirit, opened in Warsaw. In the century that followed, The Dybbuk became a theatrical conduit for a wide range of discourses about Jews, belonging, and modernity. This timeless Yiddish play about spiritual possession beyond the grave would go on to exert a remarkable and unforgettable impact on modern theater, film, literature, music, and culture. The Dybbuk Century collects essays from an interdisciplinary group of scholars who explore the play's original Yiddish and Hebrew productions and offer critical reflections on the play's enduring influence. The collection will appeal to scholars, students, and theater practitioners, as well as general readers.

La Società Teatrale Internazionale (STIn) rappresenta un caso di studio eccezionale nel panorama italiano. Fondata nel 1908 da un gruppo di speculatori convinti di risolvere la crisi del teatro attraverso i mezzi propri della grande industria, la STIn è nazionalizzata nel 1926 dal Governatorato fascista di Roma e liquidata nel 1931. Nei suoi 23 anni di vita la STIn gestisce i maggiori teatri italiani, dal Costanzi di Roma al Regio di Torino, stringe accordi con numerose sale internazionali e coinvolge i principali artisti, impresari e compositori della sua epoca, da Mascagni, che della società sarà azionista e direttore, all'editore Sonzogno. La complessa ed entusiasmante parabola della STIn può essere ricostruita attingendo ai numerosi fascicoli dell'archivio societario che, conservato presso l'Archivio Storico Capitolino di Roma, rappresenta uno dei pochi archivi di società teatrale giunto a noi integralmente per ampi tratti della sua storia. Dell'Archivio STIn, recentemente riordinato, questo volume pubblica l'inventario.

Theatre and Democracy: Building Democracy in Post-war and Post-democratic Contexts is the outcome of a longstanding collaboration between two centers of applied theatre education and research in South-Africa and Norway, respectively (2017-2022). It presents knowledge, critical conversations and artistic work related to issues of democracy, both historical and contemporary. Within the global framework of our current (post)democracies, thirteen chapters contain stories and analyses from artists and researchers who all study, understand and facilitate theatre as a political-performative medium in dealing with community-specific democratic issues. The reader encounters studies and reports from specific cases of applied theatre, community culture development and performance activism in countries such as South-Africa, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Norway. There is a common interest in theatre as a platform for active citizenry, as well as several attempts to explore theatre as a platform for "political subjectivation" (Rancière).
