In this fascinating new study, Laura Bradley explores how the authorities' denial affected the language and experience of theatre censorship. She shows that it left theatre practitioners doubly exposed: they remained officially responsible for their productions, even if the productions had passed pre-performance controls. In theabsence of a fixed set of criteria, cultural functionaries had to make difficult judgements about which plays and productions to allow, and where to draw the line between constructive criticism and subversion. Drawing on a wealth of new archive material, the study explores how theatre practitioners andfunctionaries negotiated these challenges between 1961 and 1989. The chapters in Part I explore theatre censorship in East Berlin, asking how the controls affected different genres, and how theatre practitioners responded to the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Prague Spring, and the expatriation of Wolf Biermann. Part II broadens the focus to the regions, investigating why theatre practitioners complained of strong regional variations in theatre censorship, and how they responded toMikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika. By examining a range of case studies, from banned stagings to those that met with official approval, the book puts high-profile disputes back into context. It shows how censorship operated through human negotiation, illuminating the shiftingpatterns of cooperation and conflict that influenced the space available for theatrical experimentation., Brand New, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Book Title: Cooperation and Conflict, EAN: 9780199589630, Subject Area: Physical Education, Publication Name: Cooperation and Conflict: Gdr Theatre Censorship, 1961-1989, Subject: History, Publication Year: 2010, Type: Textbook, Format: Hardcover, Language: English, Item Height: 223mm, Item Width: 148mm, Item Weight: 530g, Number of Pages: 328 Pages, Oxford University Press<
