Aotearoa New Zealand in the Global Theatre Marketplace by James Wenley Pdf

Aotearoa New Zealand in the Global Theatre Marketplace offers a case study of how the theatre of Aotearoa has toured, represented and marketed itself on the global stage. How has New Zealand work attempted to stand out, differentiate itself, and get seen by audiences internationally? This book examines the journeys of a dynamic range of culturally and theatrically innovative works created by Aotearoa New Zealand theatre makers that have toured and been performed across time, place and theatrical space: from Moana Oceania to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, from a Māori Shakespeare adaptation to an immersive zombie theatre experience. Drawing on postcolonialism, transnationalism, cosmopolitanism and globality to understand how Aotearoa New Zealand has imagined and conceived of itself through drama, the author investigates how these representations might be read and received by audiences around the world, variously reinforcing and complicating conceptions of New Zealand national identity. Developing concepts of theatrical mobility, portability and the market, this study engages with the whole theatrical enterprise as a play travels from concept and scripting through to funding, marketing, performance and the critical response by reviewers and commentators. This book will be of global interest to academics, producers and theatre artists as a significant resource for the theory and practice of theatre touring and cross-cultural performance and reception.

Antipodean Antiquities by Marguerite Johnson Pdf

Leading and emerging, early career scholars in Classical Reception Studies come together in this volume to explore the under-represented area of the Australasian Classical Tradition. They interrogate the interactions between Mediterranean Antiquity and the antipodean worlds of New Zealand and Australia through the lenses of literature, film, theatre and fine art. Of interest to scholars across the globe who research the influence of antiquity on modern literature, film, theatre and fine art, this volume fills a decisive gap in the literature by bringing antipodean research into the spotlight. Following a contextual introduction to the field, the six parts of the volume explore the latest research on subjects that range from the Lord of the Rings and Xena: Warrior Princess franchises to important artists such as Sidney Nolan and local authors whose work offers opportunities for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary analysis with well-known Western authors and artists.

The International Reception of Samuel Beckett by Mark Nixon,Matthew Feldman Pdf

Over the last decade, Samuel Beckett's popularity has rocketed around the world and he is increasingly recognised as one of the most important and influential writers of the twentieth century but there has been very little scholarly work on Beckett's reception outside Europe. This comprehensive volume brings together essays from leading critics on Beckett's international critical reception. Due to Beckett's linguistic and artistic abilities, he was intimately involved in the translation and production of his writings in German, French, English and Spanish; and consequently countries using these languages have sophisticated critical traditions. However, many other countries have adopted Beckett as their own, from places where he lived for lengthy periods of his life (England, France, Ireland and Germany), to those finding directly applicable political messages in his work (such as ex-Soviet states including the Czech Republic and Romania), and those countries whose national literary traditions bear heavily upon his work (e.g. Norway and Italy). This fascinating volume reveals Beckett's evolving critical reception from contemporary reviews to the present.

Breast Cancer Essentials by Mahdi Rezai,Mehmet Ali Kocdor,Nuh Zafer Canturk Pdf

Breast cancer is a disease requiring multidisciplinary management including surgery, medical and radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, nuclear medicine, genetic counseling, and psychological support. Each member of the team needs to be updated continuously on breast cancer treatment because of its rapidly changing nature. From the diagnostic procedures to operations and even in metastatic stages of breast cancer, surgeons play an essential part in multidisciplinary teams. After standard surgical options, oncoplastic breast surgery is rapidly becoming one of the most important surgical topics that should be learned by attending surgeons. The idea of writing this book stemmed from a collaboration between the European Academy of Senology (EAoS), European Institute of Oncology (IEO), Euro-Asian Society of Mastology (ESOMA), and SENATURK (Turkish Academy of Senology), which have been working together to promote better training in breast care for professionals. The book offers invaluable support for breast surgeons by covering critical and essential information in senology. It will also greatly benefit the other members of multidisciplinary teams, surgery residents, gynecologists, and plastic and reconstructive surgeons.

Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction by Raghavan Vidya,Hilton Becker Pdf

Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide, and surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. Breast reconstruction and Oncoplastic techniques have advanced over the last decade from complex autologous reconstruction to minimal invasive surgery. Breast reconstruction has evolved from traditional submuscular techniques to prepectoral implant-based reconstruction, thanks to advances in implantable biologic and synthetic products that make this muscle-sparing approach possible. In this state-of-the art volume, prominent clinicians and the pioneers of this technique join forces to provide the reader with a practical guide to prepectoral breast reconstruction, including relevant anatomical knowledge, key skills, and concrete tips for daily practice. After discussing the historical evolution of prepectoral breast reconstruction and providing an anatomical description of the superficial fascia system, the book presents the main approaches currently available, and addresses patient selection, radiation therapy, postoperative monitoring, and particular challenges such as revision surgery. Dedicated chapters on mesh scaffolds and autologous lipomodelling are also included. The book also features over 150 original full-color illustrations and drawings, together with take-home messages. With its complete yet handy format, Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction offers a valuable reference guide for residents, fellows, practicing breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and all professionals in related sub-specialties.
