However, a decade of conflict in the Middle  East and Afghanistan, the eruption of new social movements around the world,  the growth of anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation struggles, the upsurge of  protests against the blockades of neoliberalism, and the rising tide of  dissent and anger against corporate power, with its exorbitant social costs,  have left theatre and performance scholarship confronting something of a  dilemma: how to theorize the political antagonisms of our day? Drawing on the  resources of ‘post-Marxist’ political thinkers such as Chantal Mouffe and  Jacques Rancière, the book explores how new theoretical horizons have been  made available for performance analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTony Fisher is Reader in Theatre and Philosophy at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, UK, where he is the director of studies for the research degrees programme and course leader on MA\/MFA Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media.
