McMullan investigates the full range of Becketts dramatic canon for stage, radio, television and film, including early drama, mimes and unpublished fragments. She examines how Becketts drama composes and recomposes the body in each medium, and provokes ways of perceiving, conceiving and experiencing embodiment that address wider preoccupations with corporeality, technology and systems of power. McMullan argues that the body in Becketts drama reveals a radical vulnerability of the flesh, questioning corporeal norms based on perfectible, autonomous or invulnerable bodies, but is also the site of a continual reworking of the self, and of the boundaries between self and other. Becketts re-imagining of the body presents embodiment as a collaborative performance between past and present, flesh and imagination, self and other, including the spectator \/ listener.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51934903566624,"sku":"NEW0415385989","price":312.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/performing-embodiment-in-samuel-becketts-drama-routledge-advances-in-theatre-performance-studies-0415385989","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
