Book, Theater Dictionary (Pavis)[LS]

The Dictionary of Theatre, by Patrice Pavis, is an internationally known work, not only in the original French text, but also in translations into numerous languages.. Now published in Portuguese by Perspectiva, in its third corrected and expanded edition, it greatly enriches our specialized bibliography and should constitute a valuable instrument for teaching and understanding theater.. In its 560 entries, translated by professors and researchers in the field, the major issues of dramaturgy, staging, aesthetics, semiology and anthropology of dramatic art are summarized and discussed, which constitutes a summary of knowledge on the history, theory and practice of theatrical creation.. Modern lexicon, in addition to defining and explaining fundamental notions of textual and scenic analysis through examples taken from the repertoire of classical literature, as well as from contemporary mises en scène, presents and problematizes a wide range of intercultural and interartistic experiences, in terms of the most up-to-date conceptions of critical analysis currently in force.. For this very reason, it is a dictionary that the reader can consult with maximum benefit for his/her information on the field of theater, especially since access to themes, contents and sources is facilitated by a thematic and onomastic index, in addition to a rich bibliography on the subject - a set of resources and data that makes it an indispensable reference work.
