Ist Theater eine Kunst? Ein Medium? Eine Institution? Ein wenig von allem, ließe sich sagen. Es verfügt, gegenwärtig wie historisch, über einen Facettenreichtum wie kaum eine andere Kunst, Institution, wie kaum ein anderes Medium. Theater ist ein Verhandlungsspielraum: ein Ort und Raum des Spiels, der Gleichzeitiges mit Ungleichzeitigem konfrontiert, Gegenwärtiges mit Historischem, ästhetische Konvention und Subversion sowie Konflikte – subjektive, politische, globale – in den Raum stellt. Spätestens seit den Theatralitätsdebatten, den Studien zu Interkulturalität und Intermedialität und dem Aufkommen der Performance Studies in den 1990er und 2000er Jahren ist deutlich geworden, dass nicht nur Theater vielschichtig ist, sondern auch die Lesarten des Begriffs selbst. Diese Vielgesichtigkeit und Weite ihres Gegenstands hält die Theaterwissenschaft stets lebendig. Die Beiträge in Theater-Wissen quer denken beleuchten Facetten szenischer Künste und gewähren einen Einblick in Arbeitsfelder, die den theaterwissenschaftlichen Diskurs in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten mitbestimmt haben: Theater und Medien, Theater-Ökonomie, Theater und/als Institution, Theater-Praxis und -Probe, Theater und urbane Kulturen, transnationale Theatergeschichte sowie Theater als 'Interdisziplin'. Der vorliegende Band ist eine Festschrift für den Theaterwissenschaftler Christopher B. Balme. Die Autor*innen – allesamt Theaterwissenschaftler* innen und ehemalige Doktorand*innen und Habilitand*innen Balmes – sind in Forschung und Lehre sowie in theater-, kultur- und mediennahen Berufen tätig.

Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Often underestimated, lyric diction is a portal to powerful performance. It is through lyric diction that singers are able to communicate the wishes and desires of the poet, as well as the composer. Amanda Johnston takes a modernized approach in English and German Diction for Singers, making German increasingly accessible through the recognition that English and German are related languages, and thus have many things in common with regard to lyric diction. This comprehensive resource includes a thorough analysis of the German and English languages, as well as lists, tables, charts, musical examples, and even tongue twisters. Designed for both undergraduate and graduate courses in German and English lyric diction, this book is an invaluable resource for classical singers, vocal coaches, and voice teachers alike.
