How the World Became a Stage: Presence, Theatricality, and the Question of Modernity

Mehr zum Buch

In "How the World Became a Stage," William Egginton explores modernity as a spatial experience rather than a subjective one. He shifts the focus from philosophy to the practices of spectacle, analyzing historical stage practices in France and Spain, and how the perception of space evolved from a magical presence to a theatrical emptiness.
