Staging Place: The Geography of Modern Drama is the first book-length study of modern drama's relentless concern with the role and meaning of place in social and theatrical experience.
Covering the major dramatic movements from naturalism to multiculturalism (with playwrights ranging from Ibsen, Strindberg, and O'Neill to Churchill, Hwang, and Kushner), the book reconceptualizes the content and continuities of theater history, showing them to be informed by a century-long struggle with the meaning and power of place. This struggle, labelled geopathology, unfolds as a dialogue between home and homelessness, belonging and exile.
By reading canonical works in conjunction with contemporary ones, Staging Place charts the evolution of a dramatic paradigm.
The politics of Home and its Poetics of Exile -- Plays and Place -- Geopathology: The Painful Politics of Location -- America and the Limits of Homecoming -- The Places of Language -- Travel Agencies -- "If Not Here, Where?": The Challenge of Multiculturalism -- Epilogue: America at the End.
