Staging Interculturality

The articles collected in this volume have come out of the
18th international CDE conference (Vienna, 2009) and set
out to examine how contemporary drama and theatre in
English engage in the discourse of interculturality. Apart from
autobiographically-oriented keynote lectures by
playwrights Tanika Gupta and Simon Stephens these papers
address the themes of interculturality and
multiculturalism across a wide range of topics,
ethnicities, and methodologies. They deal not only with
the obvious themes of ethnic encounters and intercultural
conflicts but also with issues of hybridity, globalisation,
immigration, and the diaspora experience.
