Beschreibung
The book uses the long-standing theatre metaphor to bring political spectators out into the open, finding that they can be politically powerful. Filling out the metaphor with theatre theory, the book also finds that the metaphor can produce a viable model of democratic politics that incorporates spectators in a positive, meaningful way.

"This is thoughtful, detailed and imaginative project that clears much ground. The investigation of the role of spectatorship in contemporary politics that values it for itself is groundbreaking. The author clarifies the often confused concepts of theatricality, drama, dramaturgy, performance, and performativity. The book lays the foundations of a new approach to topic area and deserves a wide readership." -Brian Longhurst, Professor of Sociology, University of Salford, UK
