Yet in the postmodern era, a reversal has occurred - real life is revealed as something acted and acting is where people have begun to search for truth. \u003cem\u003eIn Acting and its Refusal in Theatre and Film\u003c\/em\u003e, Marian McCurdy considers the ethical desire of refusing to act - which results from blurred boundaries of acting and living - and examines how real life and performance are intertwined. Offering a number of in-depth case studies, the book contextualizes refusals of acting on stage and screen and engages in an analysis of fascist theatricality, sexual theatricality and the refusal of theatricality altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969323614359,"sku":"9781783206681","price":8284.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781783206681.webp?v=1782921371","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/acting-and-its-refusal-in-theatre-and-film-the-devil-makes-believe-9781783206681","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
