This book is a reinterpretation of Chekhov's theory both in the context of the cultural and political milieu of his time and in the light of theatre semiotics: from Prague Structuralism to French Poststructuralism and contemporary performance theory. This work presents Chekhov's understanding of the actor's stage product - stage mask - as a psychological, psychophysical and cultural construct engaged with the mysteries of the actor\/character or, what Mikhail Bakhtin describes as the author\/hero, dialectical relationships. It offers new horizons in interdisciplinary and intercultural visions on theatre acting described by Chekhov as a most liberating and cathartic process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813596610711,"sku":"9783631530962","price":8639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783631530962.webp?v=1778337074","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-path-of-a-character-michael-chekhovs-inspired-acting-and-theatre-semiotics-9783631530962","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
