Unlike Avignon, still active after more than forty years, the once notorious Nancy Festival has slipped unobtrusively into history. David Looseley sets out here to trace this itinerary. After reviewing the festival's origins and its importance for the experimental theatre of the 1960s, he examines what became of it in the bleaker decades which followed, and assesses the meaning of its decline. David Looseley, who teaches in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Bradford, is currently engaged in research funded by the Leverhulme Trust into the politics of culture in contemporary France. His published work includes a book on the theatre of the twentieth-century French dramatist Armand Salacrou.

Politics Of Culture

O livro Theatre and the World – Performance and the Politicsof Culture, do autor indiano Rustom Bharucha, merece ser revisitado. Neste volume, primeiramente publicado em 1990, encontram-se reunidos diferentes artigos de Bharucha a respeito da temática do interculturalismo no teatro, escritos entre 1981 e 1989. Há uma edição posterior de 1993, com um novo prefácio, no qual o autor informa sobre sua crítica ao colonialismo cultural, ao etnocentrismo, à indiferença a uma ética da representação nas transações interculturais e à globalização. Afirma que indicará os níveis de apropriação em jogo no processo de intercâmbio intercultural, aparentemente altruísta.
